Hmmm... that seems overkill.  Nobody ever taught me what a .rej file
is, but I figured it out.  It's not *that* hard to understand.

That sounds reasonable.  Although I would keep a brief reminder that
"qseries --edit is for reordering, not for adding/removing" in the
qseries help, even if it's repeated in "help mq".  Everything else can
move to the mq help.
