If _MAP_ is anything like the INFORMATION &MAP& file (I guess it's the
clone...), then it will only have information on globally cataloged
programs. That was the intention.

Oh - and on PI, iirc, &MAP& was only populated when you ran the
MAKE.MAP.FILE command, so you can't just read it and keep track of
executions, you need to rerun the make command every time you want an
update.
