If R13 need point to an area, it is documented. I have mu8ch code (exists and
such) where the routine does not have a savearea (or working storage) of its
own.

Should you use the mailblocks package and expect a response from me,
you should preauthorize the dissensoftware.com domain.

I very rarely bother responding to challenge/response systems,
especially those from irresponsible companies.
