It was written by Doug Nadel while he was working at IBM so it was definitely 
the IBM PL/X.

My guess is that the code dynamically creates the ISPF line command table and 
then hooks it in dynamically using control blocks, or ???, that Doug knew as he 
was in ISPF development. Unfortunately that interface has not been exposed for 
the rest of us.

Bypass a validity check!?  The authors may have had a reason to code that.

But it may have been only that they were unable to test at a higher level.

PL/X?  Was this an IBM product?  Or a licensed vendor?
