Ok, so if I type in a package spec and body that he has in the text, I need
to create a project that uses them,  then compile, build and execute the
entire thing?   I don't need to precompile them?

The book indicates that you must compile the specification file, then the
body file before you can use them.

I'll give it a try and get back - thanks for the help!

John
