I wanted to use SWI URI_Dispatch which needs the task handle, so I added this as a function in init.py along the same lines as task_name(). Another approach would be for the initialise() function to store the wimp_ver, task_handle and sprite_area values returned from Toolbox_Initialise and make them available as properties of the Application, say.

The task handle is signed in various other parts of the code, but there were two instances here where it was still being treated as unsigned.

Make send() and reply() return the task handle returned by _send.
In _send(), take the size first from the size parameter if given,
  but allow it to come from self.size if it has been set, before
  falling back on the size of the message type. This allows message
  classes to offer setter functions for complex message entries
  which set the size of the message automatically.
Fix typos in comments.
