Christof,

One correction to my earlier post, yes it does have to be in an EXE, you can't do a Top-level form in production. But I'm sure I don't have to tell you <s>.

In experimenting with the top-level forms, though, I did discover that they are great for debuggin and proto-typing.

Otherwise, I've got it working great, and am now doing the actual app that hung me up on this.
