In the Alert program example, this piece of the program appears

to create an error. I downloaded the program examples this morning
and found that the Alert program gives me the same error that I got
last night (and it kept me up for a couple hours too :-p). I have
not been able to figure out the correct code by looking at either
the "Be Developer's Guide" or "The Be Book", an HTML document that Be
distributes to help coders. Please help so I can get a full night's
sleep again.
