	The 3.02 compiler may be a pig, but I can do menus, gadgets, bobs,
sprites, etc.  It seems unlikely that the compiler would be responsible for
this one problem, yet allow me to do all of these other things.  I suspect
that there is a crucial step undocumented in the Intuition book, like the
one in the RMK I found: it tells you how to initialize your GelsInfo, and
how to initialize your bob, move it around, etc.  It never mentions that you
should link the GelsInfo to your RastPort.  I just figured that one out on
my own...
