Great List!  I had several replies and solutions in less time than I usually
spend on-hold with tech support.

Many people mentioned that PH PDL has a known bug where several 'reads' are
performed from $STDIN before the EXIT, in effect eating the remaining lines
in the job.  Several suggested adding 15-20 blank lines after the EXIT to
satisfy PDL's appetite. One other suggestion was to add a !EOD after the EXIT.
I tried this, and it worked for me.

Thanks for all the quick replies.
