The answer to my question about my having a \caption in a
center environment was answered indirectly by several helpful readers
who pointed out that short captions are always centered anyway
making the center environment unnecessary. I probably should
have realized this, although I couldn't find any mention of this
bahavior in the LaTeX book.

This, however, led to another problem. The formatting requirement
for the document I'm preparing requires centered captions for tables
and leftflush captions for figures. What I decided to do about this
was to create \tcaption and \fcaption which would produce the
desired effect for tables and figures. Knowing that captions are by
default centered made it easy to modify the original \caption command.

So, thanks again to everyone who responded to my plea.
