Hello John:
 
Thank you for the pages from the manual.
I still need the syntax of the procedure declarations.
The BUILDINT did not like the two trials below.

There are 3 kinds of programming errors:  syntactical, semantical and mystical.
The programmers have to suck up the users just as much as absolutely necessary.
