Thanks (again). Unfortunately, s-lang looks like it's cross-platform, but 
newt does not, unless I'm mistaken. This stuff is certainly well-hidden and 
is hardly stumbled across of you don't already know of it :-)
Sadly, all this is much too cryptic for the sort of casual use I had in 
mind -- it would actually be faster for me to dig out the win32 extensions 
and do regular Windows, which I wanted to avoid in the first place :-)
