These are from 'MacTextEdit'. The hash key-names need quotes. This is 
more an instance of the -w switch being a nuisance rather than of 
bugs in 'MacTextEdit' I think.

The only complaints about uninitialised variables I get relate to 
'$infilename' and '$outlilename' if the window is cancelled before 
entering a name in the fields. A tweak to line 31 of 'FilePrompter' 
would fix that. Otherwise I don't get any error notices at all.

Good point. There is some nonsense code in line 112 of MacTE.pm. Add 
'return 1' to that line and it will behave properly. Thanks for 
pointing this out.
