This raises a question - how does one get the include files without
ordering the licensed product?

An excellent point. I don't understand why IBM didn't just put them into QSYSINC but ...

I know Barbara published fairly recent
ones, with a proviso, as I recall, about new elements coming soon. But
maybe that's good enough - copy the contents and put them into some
source file for now, and then write the handler. These includes are NOT
needed for the RPG program that specifies HANDLER on the F-spec, right?

You are correct - only the handler needs the includes. The new PTFs will copy/paste but we shouldn't have to. I'll check the legality of publishing the sources somewhere.

I don't have OAR installed on a box yet, does the compiler know about HANDLER at 6.1 (with the PTFs) and at 7.1? That
point has not been really made clear to my mind.

Yes - the compiler PTFs make it recognize the handler keyword. But RDP 7.5 doesn't recognize it - haven't tried it on 7.6 yet.
