larry, heather, and all,
with your drop-shells and applets,
you've put us onto a route
that i've wanted to pursue
in taking some of my code to an open source model.

i've already registered the creater code with apple:
it's "tool", in upper-case rather than lower, of course,
'cause apple reserves all the good all-lower codes for itself...

more later, but i want to encourage your efforts instantly...
