<SNIP>

     Huh?  What on earth are you on about?  This is just a toy example
     to get things working and in such instances a title such as ``A 
function''
     is perfectly acceptable.

     It  looks to me like the OP's editing was done adequately, and is *not*
     the source of the OP's problems.

     Sarah Goslee has already pointed out what at least one of the sources
     of his problems is.

         cheers,
