A Toast:
    Here's to all Empirical Programmers; may their work never inhabit my disks.

Eighteen whole months.  That proves it, eh?  Where did you say you worked?

Note that if the window is closed, window->WScreen is a technique we
call "Indirection through Free Memory."  Bryce has a little program, memmung,
that you ought to try.

)Share and enjoy.

I'll drink to that ...  ACk!  Poison! ...
