And I guess Scott has the honor of the last IBMVM problem solved by
Alan as a developer... :-/
I hope Alan enjoys the "deeper, more direct experience" he's going to
have with us. If it weren't for all the traveling...

Ok - #1 helps a little (but I'm assuming a real user can end up by

probably going a little far unless I'm going for 6 Sigma or something
:-) Probably will stick with tossing VSM user cuz I'm a lazy old cuss.
The good news for me is now I know why it's there and why I'm excluding
it ... so.. thanks again...

Perhaps it would help to know that all VSMs
1. Appear on a separate line of output on QUERY NAMES
2. Have the '-' in column 9. User IDs have it in column 10. (Sneaky,
huh?)
3. Can be seen via "CP QUERY IUCV *CCS"
