Glenn_1, When I searched the list for this, I found a number of questions, but no answers. Someone already pointed out that 'Change' doesn't work (and I confirmed that), so I started looking at the Tooltip package, but couldn't make it work.
In any case, using the -tip option is easier. It creates a Tooltip object internally, but I couldn't see how to get at the object. The kludge is in passing the object handle (which I found by examining the $mw hash using Data::Dumper) to 'UpdateTipText'. If someone can figure out how to access that object in an OO manner, it would be cleaner (and safer).

Change (if it works) (per my previous, read the mail sequentially and not yet awake enough to think of looking for more followups first) would be simpler, but it is nice to know there is a solution.
