There are others in this category:

  command    undefined qualifier
  ---------  -------------------
  POST       REPLY
  SELECT     MAIL
  FOLLOWUP   INFILE
  ADD BATCH  DEBUG

The list is probably not conclusive.

I have been observing this behaviour since I started playing with V6.1
(beta 5) and am curious why nobody cared to ask this question before.

Should we add these qualifiers to the .CLD or remove the corresponding
calls to CLI$Present/(CLI$Get_Value?) from the source ?
