I do understand this logic and I agree that most of our customers
will follow that approach.  However, if everyone waits for someone
else to test the patch then we will never get any patches to GR
status.

Someone who can use ABORTPROC (and the INPUT to console enhancement)
and is on 6.5 needs to try out this patch.  If no one is willing to
test the patch then maybe the patch/enhancement should not have
been done in the first place.  The ability to kill an individual
process was ranked pretty high on past SIGMPE ballots, so I assume
there is still demand for this feature.  If you are not on 6.5 that's
one thing. But, if you are on 6.5 and can use the new enhancement
please consider installing the patch.

Thanks to one of you who installed it today and found it to work
as advertised.  Speaking of which, the command is documented in
online help and here:
