 Hello John.
 
Ok.   I got steamed too quickly.
 
**********
 
 
However, I have a debugging dilemma.
 
I made changes to one of the function subroutines, and recopied that
function to the shell
and I put print statements in the new version of the function subroutine.
 
None of the new print statements are printing.
 
It's as if the old version is still runing.

*****************

Never mind>                   I found the problem.

I had misunderstood the purpose of the returrn statement.

I had thought 

return g

simply set the function value to g.

I did not realize at first that 

return g

also exits the function,
