Ah! Interesting. Thanks. Never used it before. SYNCH = "CALL with MODESET
and Return as you were."

Got it all working with CALL and EPSW and so forth but this would have been
a better way. Will keep it in mind.

What would be the performance difference? (Serious question -- sorry if it
sounds sarcastic.)

Is performance an issue? I've found SYNCH to be a convenient way to preserve
state.
