Turns out that, although my original script worked fine for me, it doesn't
fare quite so well on machines with a different type of display. (Thanks,
Bob - for being such a patient guinea pig.)

This version should travel a bit better:

-------------------------------------------------------
(Any wrapped lines abutting the left edge of the window
should be reconnected to the end of the previous line)
-------------------------------------------------------

--=====================================================

set v to 102 -- modify as required (integer between 0 and 128)
tell application "System Preferences"
run
set current pane to pane "com.apple.preference.displays"
end tell
tell application "System Events" to tell process "System Preferences" to
tell window 1 to tell tab group 1
tell radio button "Display" to if value is 0 then
click
repeat until value is 1
end repeat
end if
tell group 2 to tell slider 1 to set value to v / 128
end tell

--=====================================================
