There is a "Minor Difference" between what I'm trying and what you've
suggested -- I'm trying to feed an entire file with multiple messages as
"$stdin" to the sendmail PROGRAM, and your example is interaction with the
sendmail DAEMON.  Mark also e-mailed to point out that when run as

   run SENDMAIL.PUB.SENDMAIL;INFO="-t";STDIN=feedfile

Sendmail will only accept <1> message and then terminate.  This just means I
need to change my methodology from creating a batch of e-mails and
force-feeding them to the gateway, I have to "spoonfeed" messages
one-at-a-time to instances of Sendmail...

Come to think of it, MPEX does have a "spoonfeed" command -- this will be
pretty easy after all!
