[kepler-dev] getting a tableau

[Chad Berkley]

Thanks, Christopher, I'll try that.  The models are already opened by 
other functions.  This is just for the apple extension that makes the 
apple-q function work.  I basically just want to tell ptolemy to close 
everything and prompt the user to save if there are changes to any models.
