Dear SAS-L-ers,

I think that the SAS Institute just included them in SASHELP for our own SAS program development and amusement. In all of my years of using SAS, I do not ever recall seeing a document that discussed their use. So, I regularly fold, spindle, and mutilate them to fit my own nefarious SAS program development and testing needs:-)

Alex, best of luck in all of your SAS endeavors!

I hope that this suggestion proves helpful now, and in the future!
