That was it. I had tried that when experimenting with the factorial 
program, but I had made another mistake that masked the solution. And 
then of course I made the always fatal mistake of assuming that it must 
be somebody else's code, as it worked on one machine and not on the 
other. Thanks, I really appreciate your assistance.
