Well, I tried your initial suggestion regarding the grafPort,
and that wasn't the problem.  However, I went and got Think Pascal
(I had been using Turbo Pascal), and converted my code to run there.
The conversion was not too troublesome, and the superior debugging
environment and error messages enabled me to get things working.

According to LightSpeed, you cant reference a non-global procedure
with the @operator.  That was the main change that I needed to make
to get things running in LightSpeed.  I plan to take it back to Turbo
just for ducks to see if code that works in LightSpeed will still fail
in Turbo.

And, I didn't see the second suggestion (making a 1x1 list rather than 1x0)
until tonight, so that wasn't the problem.  Though if the current
code still does not work in Turbo, I'll give that a try.

Thanks for your assistance.

I hope that this conversation has been of use to someone else as well.
