Which is exactly why it is a BAD IDEA to allow multiple programs to exist
in different code files with the same name, especially in the same
account.

There would be no way to properly catalog those programs meaning you need
to use the RUN command to execute them all the time.  

The ability is to catalog programs, globally or locally, is a very useful
capability.  Even a necessary one when you deal with callable subroutines
that can reside in different code libraries.

Danger Will Robinson! Warning! Warning!
Do not do this.  Stop. No. Baddog.

If you have three different programming files like :BP, NEW.BP and
VENDOR.BP 
this will overwrite any same-name items in the VOC.  NOT a good idea.
trust me 
... not that this has screwed me over a few dozen times myself or
anything...
