It works on my system here.  Thank you so much for your help.  (I've
been learning a lot with you!)

Was that your last approach?  I only glanced at it so far.  But I
remember seeing you describing an object and listing out which methods
were defined for it and then there was one procedure that would take the
role of invoking the methods (with the proper arguments).
