You are correct.  Strangely enough, we couldn't get it to compile on
another machine using Cafe either.  I came back, looked at it, and 
realized what was causing the error.  

  I had the code located at the top of the class.  I left the
declaration there, moved the 2nd line of code into Start, and it
worked fine.  

  Still don't know why it gave Cafe a fit, since we tested the code
inside a function...oh well, that's on someone else's machine.  Mine
works fine :)
