I tried three WNEs after calling &setup_hal, which works, but seems 
rather inelegant. Not sure exactly how to go about it the other way (I'm 
back to feeling daft again).

I've set the idea of tackling this aside for the moment, and no, that 
would be the $64K question.  It was an obscure reference to begin with.

Okay, saw demo.  Did syntax check on same. I get:

# Can't call method "dispose" without a package or object reference.
File '<AppleEvent>'; Line 38

Line 38:

END {$win->dispose}

works better as:

END {
	$win->dispose() if (defined($win));
	}

but I'm just being picky.
