David, et al:

A "post send" thought:

While I favor support for pointers, handles, etc.  that does NOT mean 
I support their implementation in Xtalk with cryptic @ or @@ syntax 
al la C.  Any support for these features should fit naturally into 
Xtalk: eg "get the address of someVariable" seems natural for a 
pointer.  Although the simile sucks, "the mailBox" might work well 
for a handle:

	"put the mailBox of someVariable into myMailBox"
         "send data myNewVariable to myMailBox"
