Help! And thanks:) Same error as on our code. I thought I'd go through 
all the documentation (BTW do you want notes on typos?) and come up to 
speed so I could figure out why our code (that someone else wrote), had 
this error. To my surprise, the first example I tried had the same no 
get_debug_info member error. What am I doing wrong?
