I don't know what to make of it but the problem seems to start at the lines I
have marked 1 & 2 and involves the lo_import function. I have not used
lo_import and so do not know how to call it.  What I do see is that it is
called at 1 and a  '('  shows up to the  left of the prompt at 2 and stays
there indicating to me at least the parser is not happy.
