You're right, of course. I think I'll move the handlers from my template into a run-time library. That means I'll have to find some way to keep the script relocatable, however. I don't see an easy way to do that. If I include the library in the folder with the script, I'm back to changing multiple copies of the included handlers. I guess if I store the library in /Library/MyScriptLibrary or some such I'd only have a copy per machine to change.
