RE: variable start values

Jason,
  By the time the function hits the return, there needs to be a value
assigned to capital1.  If x[1][1] is less than 90, that happens.  But if
not, there is no other place for the value to be assigned, so the
program crashes.  You have to options to correct this: initialize
capital1 or add an else statement to assign a value to capital1.  You
could also remove the variable altogether and use multiple returns.

if x[1][1] < 90 then
  -- do stuff
  return 0
else
  return 1
end if

HTH,
Mike Sabal
