[Nod] I suspect that the key is the way that Firebird documents various 
activities as differing subsets of SQL, i.e. defining a table is one 
subset, accessing it is another, managing users a third and so on. I 
could have been naive in assuming that isql's CREATE USER was submitted 
as such, rather than being translated to API call(s) inside the program.
