I'm not sure what you mean by this question.  Can you post a small snippet
of code illustrating your problem?

Again, please provide a small bit of code to illustrate.

I'm not sure what you mean by "defeats the object."  Can you elaborate on
this?  (And post some code.)

Do you really need to?  Can you point to a subprogram that calls the entry?

It would be helpful if you could post the smallest amount of code that
demonstrates your problem.
