Walt, That's great that you indicate they can be in Metal C, but I haven't seen any examples from IBM in there manuals. Also, it would be desirable to say 'yes' you can or 'no' you can't, it would help customers and us developers, IMHO. Examples are a great source for learning and helpful pointers.
