 OK... from Jim Donnelly's submittal to the net today ( jimd@cv.hp.com ) 
 we probably have the answer..

 missing PROGRAM delimiters in the program listing on pg. 598  If you 
 notice, there are 2 open program ( << ) delimiters and no close ( >> )
 program delimiters in the manual's listing. ( this should have been a
 big clue! ;-) )
