ALL STOP is "error" termination, but this error is under the control of the 
programmer, so they can put a non-character non-zero code if they want to 
return an error code. I guess since for character codes we have to choose for 
the user one way or the other? Your suggestion makes sense, but is for a 
Note, so it has little power.
Best,
