Description:	Currently, there is a function called MASTER_CHANNEL which allows read and write access to the master channel of a channel. While useful, the scope of this function is quite limited. A new function, OTHER_CHANNEL, allows the same kind of read/write access from any channel to any other channel. This is different from the SHARED function, which uses a separate variable space. This new function allows for certain manipulations that were previously not possible, such as modifying another channel's CDR variables.
