It appears that the original poster missed the significance of the
term "equality operator".  As the error message indicated, his "Equal"
is not an equality operator.  An equality operator is designated by
the symbol "=".  The "Equal" function might be an equality operatION,
but it's not an equality operatOR.  (The operatORs are all given by
special symbols and names: "=", "<", ">", "<=", ">=", "/=", "not", "or",
"and", "+", "-", etc. )
