Russ,

It is true that a problem currently exists when processing CI commands and
intrinsics (e.g. PURGE).  We have been working with Quest on modifications
to MPE/iX and Netbase/Shareplex so that these problems will be solved.  This
doesn't solve your problem today, but we should have a solution soon.

Thanks,

LB
