Nope, you're not missing something -- that works fine. For some
reason the difference between the definition

  def stdoutHandler(self, file, mask)
  
and the example prototype for a file handler

  handler(file, mask)

prevented me from thinking of that (though it's the obvious
thing to do now that you point it out).

Thanks!  I knew I was missing an obviously better way of doing
that.
