Two things...First: I mistyped the message--my code read:

USHORT chip ImageData[]={0xF7000,0xEFFF,...};

Second:
The compiler would only compile the code if I moved it from within a procedure
to a global declaration...it compiles fine now...my only question is, Why?
Why won't it compile if the declaration is made within a procedure?  Some type
of a scope problem?


Thanks
