As Tom correctly pointed out, the CI suppress anything that
could be a lockword/password.  The CI also tries to understand
if the "/" is part of a POSIX name and not suppress it if so.
However, if there is an ambiguous case the CI does not echo the
data beyond the "/", up to the next token in the line.

Given that you want to see the "/" and the characters immediately
past the "/" you need to make the CI think it is a POSIX named
file.  Is it possible to start the token containing the "/"
with a "." or a "/"?  Or, as has been mentioned, can you put
the INFO data (it does not appear to be a variable to STREAMX)
into a CI variable??

HTH some,
Jeff Vance, CSY
