no, i just didn't want to clutter the mail, sorry - like i said, printing the
statement that relies on those variables alone works.  it's the last line,
variable * variable, that breaks.

i wasn't sure if the comments would be superfluous to the mail; i'll be sure
to include them in future questions.

i have noticed that there are many approaches for them though (puts and print
are interchangeable?) - is there a canonical syntax to which i should refer?
