The only problem that I have come across with using FILE STDIN=$NULL work
around
is:  Running a quiz report from a menu option with prompts in the quiz report.
The prompt show and errors out immediately.  The work around creates new
problems.  I am going to have to change the quick menu to issue the FILE
STDIN=$NULL before the menu option and a RESET STDIN after the menu option.
What a Pain.
