aha, a way around that limit, so I assume one could "source" 2 or even 3 
additionals that way?

Actually, I have it sortof working, by merging the align stuffs into 
custom_postgui.hal, but I've edited all that stuff to give it more unique 
variable names since my own code is sprinkled liberally with #<_start-y> 
and #<_end-y> etc sorts of globals.

However, while show hal watch says the button clicks are now working, the 
1st of those 4 teeny little routines will not run, giving a seek o<word>: 
o<align-start> error in line -2147483647 popup advisory, then because it 
didn't set its global vars, the other 3 run but report garbage data.

align-start:
===========BEGIN
o<align_start> sub
(msg, this is align start)
( this subroutine records the current location of x and y into)
( the global variables _stuart-x and _stuart-y)
#<_stuart_x> = #5420
#<_stuart_y> = #5421
(debug, stuart XY = #<_stuart-x> #<_stuart-y>)
o<align_start> endsub
M2
EOF==============

So I have another error, where I've not yet found.

In hal show, under components, I have a cu-filter-PID that never comes 
ready, always initializing.  But I don't think that is connected, it should 
be part of camview-emc as I have a util.crop in the video chain for 
zooming, and which works ok.

Open to suggestions as to what to check next.

Thanks Chris Morley

Cheers, Gene
