Thanks for the tip, I figured it was something simple like this.  It's
difficult to figure out these days, mainly because "who would even want
to do such a thing?"  That having been said, the book isn't as strange
as it seems from this example.  He's just not interested in teaching
anything about graphics, and using simple screen output should have
gotten around it.  The actual exercise (not the one in my message)
comes in a chapter about Friend functions and Friend classes.  Sure
glad that he WASN'T trying to teach graphics of any sort!

Again, thanks for the tip.
