[NTLK] Get with the program (or at least the programming language)

Zach had inadvertantly committed the following blunder:

> me = { 'name' : 'Zachery Bir', 'email' : 'zbir_at_urbanape.com',
> 'voice' : '(804) 353-3742', 'url' : 'http://www.urbanape.com/' }

What Paul meant when he cited an error was: perhaps on a Newton group you
might garner more favor if you did it as follows:

me := { name: "Zachery Bir", email: "zbir_at_urbanape.com",
        voice: "(804) 353-3742", url: "http://www.urbanape.com/"} ;

...hint, hint...

Sean, who thinks that porting Jython to Waba would be, let's say, a
nontrivial endeavor, and prefers that one write it as follows:

me = Ref.newFrame().setSlot("name", new Ref("Zachery Bir"))
                   .setSlot("email", new Ref("zbir_at_urbanape.com"))
                   .setSlot("voice", new Ref("(804) 353-3742"))
                   .setSlot("url", new Ref("http://www.urbanape.com/"));
