Re: baffling error message

[Jonathan Kulp]

Yea!!  Thanks Reinhold, Mats, and Neil.  This instantly 
fixed the problem.  Oy.  I was using a template from 
somewhere and didn't know what that "english.ly" was for but 
kept it anyway.  There ought to be a flashing red warning 
light over that!  I've gotten used to writing gis fis and 
cis so I'll just make sure not to have the english.ly file 
included in anything.  Many thanks for the speedy solution 
to my problem.  Glad it was so easy for you guys to figure out.
