Hi all,

A few on this list and the OpenMPE list have asked that I
make available a full list of recent CI related enhancements
I choose release 6.0 as the starting point.  Hope this is
useful to some.

 regards,
 Jeff Vance, CSY

  . POSIX filename were extended to support these special characters:
                ~\$%^*+|{}:
    and all CI commands that accept POSIX names support these chars.

  . the COPY command accepts a space separator between the to= and
    from= names, and the to= name can be a directory name.

  . the SHOWVAR command allows an SM user to see user defined vars
    for another job/session via the JOB= parameter.

    fsyntax(), and xword() CI functions were introduced.
