	:-) Horay, it'd be a nice at-poke demo if I could get that to work; I'd
be a happy man ;-)

	Yes; hmm - nasty one really. Hard to know what to do; but a present
might be acceptable, I know not the ramifications of this - I'd ask
Havoc personally - he'd know.

	Also; I think I'm going to have to add an 'async' 'doAction' method,
since currently it's a roundtrip thing, and it seems if you 'do' an
action such as 'Open' which throws up a file dialog; you get to block
at-poke in the CORBA mainloop waiting for the Open dialog to return.

	[ That's normally fine for an AT since they don't have GUI's but
somewhat sub-optimal. Sadly it needs new cspi API to make it
asynchronous really ].

	Regards,

		Michael.
