Great.  Does that invoke the Cocoa listener?  My
earlier
attempt at would cause the Cocoa environment to come
up,
so my script:

openmcl -b -n -e "(require 'Cocoa) (quit)"

Would never reach the (quit).

Eventually!

Speaking of which, the existing Bosco links were all
dead
as of a week or so ago (including Mikel's home page).

I grabbed tarballs from the Google archive, but we
might
need to come up with a place to keep this stuff if
Mikel's
not available to host it.
