What else is LC for? But in the absence of a message designed explicitly for the purpose, the only thing I could think of was to set up a process that watches the user's actions, and pounces when the time is right. I read from your reply that you are as little enamored of this little sideshow as you are with a high level handler. I think the process, though, is more robust, and it is certainly more local.
