Thank you for your helpful responses.  I draw from them the lesson
that even beginning users need to learn about the "inheritance tree"
and about the difference between "top level" and other functions.  On
the other hand, it's gratifying to know that the strange behavior
that
I encountered is considered to be a bug by the experts.
Best,
Ken R
