[Coco] Perplexity

[Wayne Campbell]

I see errors in the code already. It did not define the type in the
dimensions statements, and since the first dimension statement has a colon
before the comment line it will produce an error. The remainder of the
dimensions statements will produce a dimension of real variables. That's
what numbers default to if it is not specified. I will have to copy the
code and put it into basic09 to see exactly what else is wrong with it.
