Wendell asks several questions concerning SLT's..

1.  Yes, they can be made with users on-line.  Process can be either
     interactive or in batch.  I prefer batch jobs so that terminals are not
tied up.

2.  Putting additional files on the SLT is, in my opinion, is site and
application
     specific.

3.  System and user-volume directories, again in my opinion, belong on
backups
     which are more current and should be done with the ;DIRECTORY option.
