	Interesting that this should be brought up.  It was my impression also
the the Vio calls only existed for migration purposes.  But if you take a peek
at the REXX library source code you will see that it uses this.  The REXX
source code was in the toolkit example programs I think.  Looks to me like IBM
is still using it:)
