        Congratulations Sly!  You won the $24,000 question of the week!  Yes, 
my "inconsistencies" that I encountered were, in fact, due to the fact that I 
have never used a bland old vanilla "C" compiler, and was just used to the C++ 
compilers.  Thus I was trying to declare variables everywhere, and I couldn't 
understand why.  Now I know, and knowing is half the battle (a quote from GI 
Joe).  Thanks to all who didn't belittle me for being such a moron!
