Chuck-

Thanks for the pointer to that web page.  It explains a few things,
though when I tried moving some stuff around this morning I wasn't
successful in making the error go away.  If you comment out the calls to
both display and set_time, the code starts with no errors, so for now
I'd suggest you do that, and then add the display call to the if
startup/reload/new_day clause that I'm using.  That should resolve the
issue for now, even if it's not real pretty.  I'll keep working on
trying to understand what else needs to be changed.

If you'd like, for now keep sending me your changes and I'll try to
incorporate them into the code and before the next release we can get an
updated and cleaned up copy to Bruce.

It's got me stumped, but considering I have a total of about 1 week of Perl experience, that's saying very little.  I think I'll move on to the web interface for the setback schedule while we wait for an answer on the addressing problem.
