I dressed it up into two modules that the compiler accepted. I
comprehend what it is doing. I was so close with the ANYREC
parameter, but I couldn't see that next step.

I did collapse the two definitions, pointer and record, into just one
compound definition. This is a phase I'm going through, 10 years ago
I expanded all the single definitions into the two separate ones.

I replaced the VAR record statements with pointers. Primarily I did
this because I can't call a method from an uninitialized pointer, so
there are fewer tests needed for good data.

I decided to get some sleep before getting into the real code.

I decided on "Helper" but I'm not fully satisfied.
