The only time I ever saw it do anything like that was when the SAS C
runtime was not available (linklist or steplib).  In z/OS 1.8, it's 
supposed to use LE instead.

I don't use the gui.  It's too ugly for my taste, though a seperate window 
for split screens could be useful on occasion.  I do sometimes (rarely) use 
it to edit a PC file in ISPF.  (Ok, call me a wierdo.)
