I _think_ that you may have the answer here - tho' for me it raises almost as 
many questions as I had in the first place.  The exercise I was having that 
intractable problem with was ex25.  ex26 involves downloading a file from the 
Internet and finding and correcting the errors.

In error, I downloaded ex26 before I had done ex25.  So I left it and did 
ex25.

Having finally given up on ex25, I am now doing ex26.  And guess what?!  Line 
10 has a missing colon.

So _how_ did a missing colon in ex26 cause problems in ex25????
