   Roger that.  With QuickC, using angle brackets means it searches the 
   regular include directory, and nothing else.  Using double quotes means 
   it searches the directory containing the current source file- usually, 
   the current directory, and if it can't then find it, it searches the 
   include directory (or directories).  In my case, this is any path in the 
   INCLUDE environment variable.
