confusing to read. For all I know, you may have used the percent27 in the link
in your post, which is being rendered as a single quote.
What is the "PORT list" you mentioned? Is this something that gets you around

I always thought of mhvrcfs as where "core MVS" documentation comments go:
the MHV part is "mid-Hudson Valley." But I asked somewhere (here? Someone at

Further, here we root for our favorite sports teams. My understanding is that
in England, rooting is not something one does in polite company.
