*     PIPEDOCS $XEDIT   * Not supplied with this package.
*     This XEDIT  profile is ( optionally  ) created by the  user for use
*     while XEDIT'ing  a document  from the results  panel. If  not found
*     then a  check is made for  the existence of PIPEFIND  $XEDIT and if
*     that is not found then the  users default XEDIT profile is used for
*     that scan. For information on what  is required in this profile see
*     HELP XEDIT  SCHANGE. NOTE,  filetype **really** is  $XEDIT, **not**
*     XEDIT.  Program  renames,  in  storage, to  $PIPEDOC  XEDIT  before
*     using.  This avoids  the situation  where, when  invoking the  exec
*     from the  XEDIT command  line, you have  to precede  the invocation
*     with the word EXEC.
*
*     PIPEDOCS REXX     * OBSOLETE as of release 3.00.
*     PIPEDOCS WRITELST * OBSOLETE as of release 3.01.

*
*    Program was developed and tested on CMS 10, results on a system with
*    a CMS of lower level are  unpredictable.  If you experience problems
*    then use the IUO version of PIPES.
*    Some function is dependent on the use of IUO PIPES, you are given
*    a warning message if you attempt use of these functions and the
*    necessary PIPES level is not available.
*    The DBCS option requires the support of the PIPEDBCS PACKAGE, which
*    can be found on VMTOOLSB.
