Hi Stewart,

I believe this functionality was available on Unix, but only as part of
Architect package. However, I think this is being fazed out (I could be
wrong), the last version of Architect I saw was for PH7.23c1.

I agree that POW is extremely useful, but being brought up on UNIX, I got
used to using PDL. Most of the time you can download the dictionary into a
file (using QSHOW) and use the very powerfull (even if criptic) UNIX editor
to quickly create new stuff based on existing stuff. I did not find this
much of a problem, but I guess this is like saying, that you can get used to
driving a Ford, but still would prefer a BMW.
