Ah, yes. Another (former) human sentenced to life on a Blue Box.  I know more
about CMS than I'd like to, but not enough to call myself a "high power" user.
Your description of the CMS security system is all too accurate, which is very
unforunate (especially in a university environment).  Secrecy is NOT Security.

You can find out about what version CMS you've got with:

	q cmslevel
	q cplevel

executed from Native CMS.  Try 'HELP CP QUERY' and 'HELP CMS QUERY' and you
should get some "user friendly!" info on other queries.

There. I've incriminated myself by proving that I know CMS.

"Unknown CP/CMS command is VM's way of saying 'Booga Booga'"
