Why won't JOIN work on 3d polylines?

I've wanted this for years in acad, but neither have it. I wrote my own but just seems like the JOIN command should join 3d plines if they meet end to end in 3d.

    Yes James, the logic of it is overwhelming, but totally missed by those w/ the control. One that always killed me was in the PGP file, "CO" for COPY. Why the extra "O"?!!!! 1st time I edited the PGP file C was for COPY, CI was for CIRCLE. Logic is apparently over rated by some.
    Oh, remember when the "-" was in FRONT of the command name for a window, w/out it for the command line? Then w/ R13 "windows" it was reversed? What a silly thing to waste programming on changing.

    It might be a recent addition but join works just fine, even in Autocad LT, with 3D polyline objects

    Hi.
    I'm using V21-2.02-01.
    I've drawn 2 3DPOLY that have 3 vertex each, and with different Z values, but one vertex for each one of them was the same( X,Y,Z).
    I used the JOIN command and it did joined them to one entity, kipping the joined entity as a 3DPOLY.
    I did another test, Drawing PLOYLINE (x,y and elevation) and a 3DPOLY with different z values and one joint vertex, and when using the join command the joined object turned in to 3DPOLY and kept the z values (Elevation of the 2DPOLY turned to Z).
