I first ran into Execute on an Ultimate. If I recall correctly, it may have been 1983?
I agree that Proc is dead and should be retired/replaced. But since it's still there, it can't fully disappear. I have been often labeled a PROCtologist by accidentally becoming very good with Procs back in the day. Unfortunately there is no clear simple replacement and/or 'replacement over time' that occurs when replacing F corelatives with A's or retiring Batch processes.
