Well, the command
.COMPILE '/data/aramisgm/research/summer2003/rcm28u.pro'
results in the error
potloc(0),potloc(1),margin=margin)
^
% Syntax error.
At: /data/aramisgm/research/summer2003/rcm28u.pro, Line 313
potloc(0),potloc(1),margin=margin)
^
% Syntax error.
At: /data/aramisgm/research/summer2003/rcm28u.pro, Line 328
birkloc(0),birkloc(1),margin=margin)
^
% Syntax error.
At: /data/aramisgm/research/summer2003/rcm28u.pro, Line 357
vmloc(0),vmloc(1),margin=margin)
.

.
(eleven syntax errors, once per call), which is certainly enough info
to find the problem*. Thanks for pointing the way.
