  I am trying to export some variables from a local module
(a module within a module), and am unable to reference them
using non-qualified techniques.  The manual states that
outer module procedures can reference variables and  procedures
which are exported from a local module using using either
of 2 methods.

  The first uses qualified names in the outer module:

Name_Of_Local_Module.Exported_Procedure (foo, bar);

...where you have to declare

EXPORT QUALIFIED Exported_Procedure;

from within the local module.



  The second is to simply say:

EXPORT Exported_Procedure;

  within the local module and reference it in the outer
module as simply:

Exported_Procedure (Foo, Bar);


  The problem I have is that the compiler refuses to accept
the latter syntax.  I have tried relocating the local module
within the outer module but this made no difference.

Any ideas?
