Hi Bob,
yes, this was the only reference I found in Hacker's, and in fact that is why I decided to ask, because *if* it had been designed specifically for that usage and had been found to operate otherwise (as observed) then I would have been leery.
But others have said that it's been this way for a long time, so I guess it is just one of those 'pick it up as you go along' things.
Thanks,
JimN
