	It is a bit confusing; CMS is using ( as a separator, not for grouping.  The only time 
when using a matching ) is useful is when calling an Xedit macro, where ) can be followed 
by parms for the macro; e.g.
| xedit fn ft fm (profile special) parms...
which allows SPECIAL XEDIT to parse its arguments:
| parse arg . ')' ...
	When calling ooRexx programs from bash I use [ ] instead of ( ), because bash doesn't try 
to expand [ ] except in special cases, and will allow [ without ].  (I have no idea what 
one might use in Windows to get around this.)
