Thank you, Dr. Graef, that worked.  I thank you, too, Walt, for your 
help.  I am sure I will have more questions, so I hope you will not mind 
when I ask .

I've been an imperative language programmer for some time.   I thought I 
would stretch my mind, and try learning a functional programming 
language.  This started off badly, but it is looking better, now!
