Just wondering, what security would I need to run that? 

I'm thinking that as Joe-Programmer I could create the program object (I
don't think I need any special security to create an MI program).

Now, you're modifying the workstation message queue, which is probably
*Public *change, so I could change any queue, right?

So, if I ran that against a Queue that was in use by QSECOFR, and my
break handling program ran the "message" as a command I could run any
command in the context of QSECOFR, correct?

Hmmmm.....
