Like I said yesterday, to suppress the Dialog, alter line 66 of file
'mahamain' to read:
require 'osinit.pl'; &OSinit(1);
------------------------------^
Why? MacPerl::Ask() is called at line 102 of 'osinit.pl':
$cmdLine = &MacPerl::Ask( "Enter command line options:" );
_unless_ $noOptions is defined. (See lines 96, 97, 98 osinit.pl).
One way of setting $noOptions to 'true' is the modification of line
66 of 'mahamain' above. As I said there may well be a more elegant
way to do this.

It's quite big. I tend to agree it would be taking a sledge hammer to
crack a nut to install MPW just to run MHonArc. The MacPerl
application works fine after all.
