That's whay I asked here in the first place.  I've suppressed warnings with
the "#pragma message" before, as you now know, errors can not be suppressed.
I was hoping there was some other "hidden from view" #pragma.  The current
"hack", however, does get me out of the C swamps.  Now, to only get out of 
the NJ swamps.
