Wow! That *is* perfect. Amazing peice of coding, Ned. Nice peice of
working out, Karl!

I'll go away and document this, take a peek at Andrew's write up for
OOPSLA 


http://www.cse.ogi.edu/~black/ecoop2001/Squeak%20Worksheet%201B.html

and should have it up by the weekend as the final version for comments.
The only "big" thing that needs to be done is implement some kind of
auto-dialer, but the thought occured that this would probably operate at
a very low level and is probably OS specific. Come to think of it, I
can't remember ever having seen an auto-dialer for a *nix, and I've seen
no code for one on any system.

Any ideas? 

In pseudo it would run something like:

Mouse up on Morphic Rolodex's "call" button

Dialog box: "Do you want to call /work/home/cancel" (Buttons to suit.)

Clicking on the appropriate button dials (I guess, sends a string to
COM3 or whatever Mac or a particular flavour of *nix calls it) the
number or cancels.

Cheers
