Thanks.  But I'm actually pretty against intermixing lexical,
grammatical, and semantic rules.  At that point (at least in my
particular project) I've given up most of the clarity that I was
hoping to gain by using ANTLR as opposed to a hand-written recursive
descent parser.

I think at this point I'm just going to hand-write the parser for my
DSL.  Thanks very much for the help.
