What I meant, Ben, was that the CodeWarrior C compiler will not compile
this. Although the "expression syntax error" message may make it look like
the problem is the data type (Int16), actually the problem is that the
CodeWarrior C compiler won't let you declare and define a variable at that
point in the function. However, if it did compile he must have been using
C++, so my suggestion was moot.
