[PD] Grokking [declare]

[Mike McGonagle]

Alright, I downloaded the 'pdrp' stuff, and opened up a patch that has
[declare] in it, and it appears to be working, as the full patch
loads, and nothing is broken...

Guess I just need to figure this out why I can't seem to make it work
with my stuff...

Thanks,

Mike

Peace may sound simple—one beautiful word— but it requires everything
we have, every quality, every strength, every dream, every high ideal.
