Yeah, that's what I meant, there was no "connect" appearing in my
window, because I have a linked script.  Why don't one of you guys try it
out?  There's two things you need to do:

1. Create a script main() {} and stick it in the dialling directory entry
for the number you call.
2. Make sure Brenton's script has the dial() command with the parameter set
correctly that says "call a linked script if one exists".
