Thanks for setting me straight, Tom.  I guess I combines some bugs in
7.0.2 with the original sketchy instructions and assumed that there were
stricter syntactical rules than there are.

This is good because it now means I can use the logical syntax of

SELECT data INTO var ...

    which to me is easier to read, for everything.
