Are you saying TSO-REXX has LINEIN, CHAROUT and so on? ...Although I do think EXECIO is nicely flexible.

Nearly all western thought since the last war, certainly all ‘progressive’ thought, has assumed tacitly that human beings desire nothing beyond ease, security and avoidance of pain. In such a view of life there is no room, for instance, for patriotism and the military virtues....Hitler, because in his own joyless mind he feels it with exceptional strength, knows that human beings ~don’t~ want only comfort, safety, short working-hours, hygiene, birth-control and, in general, common sense; they also, at least intermittently, want struggle and self-sacrifice, not to mention drums, flags and loyalty-parades.
