Thank you Michele and Robert for the examples; This is what I need.   
The kIODisplayBrightnessKey  key constant had eluded me during my late- 
in-the-day search.

In case anyone is interested, I did find an Applescript method but it  
has some limitations because it drives the System Preferences UI when  
"Enable access for assistive devices" is turned on.
