z/OS has a RECEIVE FROMNETWORK command in SMP/E that automatically 
downloads maintenance from a remote server. All you need are about 2 
snippets of XML they send you when your order is ready for download and a
 
place to store the data it retrieves. It might be nice if there was 
something similar for z/VM. Simple as another SERVICE command that would 

do the download and deterse for you.    

It isn't that the current process is difficult, just a bit confusing the 

very first time through. Anything to simplify this for future users would
 
be a decent idea in my mind.
