Instead of LoadSeg directly, 
how about "IntuitionTools.library" which has a bunch of
standard functions. Each function when called, does an additional

This eliminates SetFunction kludges, and is much simpler.

That sounds like a lot of overhead, but for things like file
requesters, things are slow anyways.
