 On 7.10E6 OpenVMS, the prompts are displayed in the order they appear in the
 source.  However, under 7.33D3 HP/UX, the CHOOSE PARM PROMPT is displayed
 first.

Hmmmm.. Are you saying in 7.10E6 the Define Parm Prompt was called BEFORE the
Choose Parm Prompt???? I'd check that if I were you.  In my experience, Choose
Parms are ALWAYS executed before Define Parms regardless of the order of the
code.    Has anyone else noticed Define Parms executing before Choose Parms???
