Since this question has come up so often, would the TPU developers care to
comment if this functionality will make it into a future release of TPU
(perhaps as a GET_INFO statement)?  I for one am using the FILE_PARSE hack to
translate my (uppercase) logical names and it works for me, but a more
generalized logical name translation (and setting) procedure would be a very
useful enhancement.  It would sure make for more readable code too!
