Ok.  Let me see if I understand this.  (what are the chances?)  In the
System Software Maintenance Manual (puzzle), I need to follow the path for
Add on Subsys Products, no patches.  Then I need to follow the patch
only/powerpatches path as a separate task to install PP7?  Or can I follow
Add on Subsys with the powerpatch option?  Confused as usual.  This is
worse than the CBIPO's I had to install on IBM mainframes some years ago!

Hopefully things will be better after I have done this once!
