	You're contradicting yourself.  Since one can already bind action proc 
	names to "real functions", why would it be operating system dependent 
	to bind callback names to "real functions?"

Go read the manual.  There's some extra work to be done, basically
to provide an OS-independent symbol table equivalent.

	Suppose that callbacks could be registered in a fashion similar 
	to action proc registration.

That would certainly be one way to implement the String to Callback
converter.  Anyone who wants is welcome to prototype it...
