Note for others who may have been as confused as I when the above
didn't work (other than opening a blank window):

To get this to actually work when run as a stand-alone script from
a shell (rather than from a MrEd graphical-REPL) I found that I had
to add a "(yield (make-semaphore))" after the "send" to get the button
to actually appear. [Or "(yield/sleep {some-large-number})".]

A slightly more complicated example in which the semaphone actually
does something useful:

	#!/bin/sh
	":";exec mred -r $0 "$@"

	(define (make-print-button label parent msg)
	  (make-object button% label parent
		       (lambda (b e) (display msg) (newline))))

	(define f (make-object frame% "Hello"))
	(define v (make-object vertical-panel% f))
	(define m (make-object message% "Hello, World!" v))
	(define h (make-object horizontal-panel% v))
	(define b0 (make-print-button "This" h "You hit THIS one!"))
	(define b1 (make-print-button "That" h "You hit THAT one!"))

	(define quit-sema (make-semaphore))
	(define q (make-object button% "Quit" h
			       (lambda (b e) (semaphore-post quit-sema))))
	(send f show #t)
	(yield quit-sema)
