Thanks, Tim & Thomas. Pretty much what I thought was happening,
but good to get confirmation from more authoritative sources.
For some reason which now escapes me, I had tried to avoid
using the SendMessage route but it seems like the cleanest
way out. (I think I was trying to avoid a circular message
path, but that doesn't seem to apply now if it ever did).

Thanks for you input.
