Actually I should have called this the "post 2.6" version since 3.2, a VMS-based version of SampleManager, actually used that pound sign syntax for subtracting one string from another. I don't think anything before 3.2 could do that. Also, I meant to use that stockMsg variable, but forgot about it in the rush.
