Thank you.That seems to have, at least initially, solved the problem.

For others who might fall into the same trap, be aware that the version 
of Beamer at Sourceforge

http://sourceforge.net/projects/latex-beamer/

is 3.07. I reinstalled this version before I sent my original query. I 
neglected to read the fine print which reads:

The Beamer class is a LaTeX class for creating presentations using a 
video projector. THIS PAGE IS NO LONGER MAINTAINED.
Home page:http://bitbucket.org/rivanvx/beamer

The version at Bitbucket is 3.10. The version 3.07 gave the errors, the 
version 3.10 did not.

Sorry for my negligence.

Doug
