So if I write:

!COMMENT verify that the filename is correct and has a valid lockword
!COMMENT specified in the format: !FILE INDATA/LOCKWORD.DATA
!COMMENT
!FILE INDATA/MYSECRET.DATA
!RUN someprogram

I'm NOT going to see "LOCKWORD" or "MYSECRET" on the $STDLIST?
Same thing if I say:

!COMMENT check to see if the password for MANAGER.SYS is valid and
!COMMENT use this format: !JOB MANAGER/PASSWORD.SYS

No "PASSWORD" will show?

Experiments anyone?  I have dinner cooking and I'm hungry!
