Good list by Nick. I'll add that when I ran the program, I got error(197) which means there is an error in the syntax statement itself. -set trace on- (perhaps accompanied by a -set tracedepth- command) is good advice for any such problem. If going to the list it also helps to provide a specific example, e.g. use the auto data. At least give the exact error message - error(197) is far more informative than error(198).
