Thanks for the input folks!
After playing with Skeye, I think that will solve the problem of providing realtime Alt-Az coordinates, more practical than dragging the laptop out and less effort that writing apps - thanks for the interest though.
I got a Wixey WR300 delivered from Amazon for $41, together with $3.69 at Officeworks to print the Azimuth digital circles from CN.
Now, with some planning in advance of the session using Stellarium and my book (Atlas of the Southern Night Sky), I can get a list of likely targets. The pushto system can get me close. The recently acquired 8x50mm finderscope will help to star hop, then I might actually - finally - look at the objects through the eyepiece!
It's looking good outside too...!
