NOTE: What program is running? aka Who am I? (SAUSAG Tips)

  2. PUT it _ALL_ out to the Log - in style - Here's an easy way to make that PUT _ALL_ a lot more readable
  3. No more macro variable litter - Using macro variables extensively can get messy, and start to chew up memory. Since V8.2 CALL SYMDEL has enabled macro variables to be deleted
