It would sure make it a lot easier for a sysadmin to chase down the
answer to:  "My program keeps aborting with a DBOPEN error ...".

You (as a system administrator) could then see what variables,
especially HPPATH, that the user had in effect at the time and go on
from there -- something that's not readily done now if the user is
locked into a UDC/menuing program.

Hey!!  By the way, I got my tape drive problem fixed...just too many
devices on the SCSI chain.
