Well, I just ran another test and the result indicates the cause of the problem lies elsewhere.  I replaced the original function name with "add_entity" and the end result is the same.  The function gets stored somewhere, but it is not displayed anywhere by pgAdmin
 
Any suggestions?

Did you find a fix for it?

it's because of the mixed-case you're using in the function name, i've had this issue last week myself and it seems to be the culprit

OK, I finally have Postgres accepting my stored procedure.  here is the relevant data in the history window of pgAmind III Query:
=================================
-- Executing query:
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION addEntity (
 fn IN VARCHAR,
 ln IN VARCHAR,
 ivar IN VARCHAR,
 hi IN VARCHAR,
 pw IN VARCHAR,
 ea IN VARCHAR,
 ad IN VARCHAR,
 c IN VARCHAR,
 p IN VARCHAR,
 co IN VARCHAR,
 pc IN VARCHAR
)
RETURNS void AS $$
DECLARE
 varID INTEGER;
BEGIN
 SELECT INTO varID uid from uids where email_address=ea;
 IF varID IS NOT NULL THEN
  INSERT INTO addy (uid,address,city,province,country,postal_code)
   VALUES (varID,ad,c,p,co,pc);
 ELSE
  INSERT INTO uids(family_name,first_name,initials,hid,pword,email_address)
   VALUES (ln,fn,ivar,hi,pw,ea);
  INSERT INTO addy(uid,address,city,province,country,postal_code)
   VALUES (currval('uids_uid_seq'),ad,c,p,co,pc);
 END IF;
END;
$$ LANGUAGE 'plpgsql' VOLATILE;
 
Query returned successfully with no result in 0 ms.
=================================
So I now go into pgAmin III, and take a look, and I can't find it.
 
When I execute the above SQL, where will Postgres store the function?  I see, in pgAmin's main window, several places where functions are stored, but none of  them contain my function.
 
It must be stored somewhere since I get an error saying the function already exists if I attempt to modiy it slightly and re-run it.  For example, I noticed I used the wrong sequence in the last INSERT statement.  To correct that, I had to add "OR REPLACE" after "CREATE" to make the correction.   I am puzzled though that I can't find it when I go back to the pgAmin main window and search through the whole database (after pressing <F5> to refresh the contents of the windows).
 
Thanks to all who helped me on this matter.
 
Cheers,
 
Ted
