Hi Frank:

I pasted your lines into Curtis' editor, did a Command->Run and (after
saving the file) it ran fine (I added a "print func_t_tuple" at the end
to make sure).

I then 'un-commented' the section of your line:

    speed = getRealType("speed")#, SI.meter.divide(SI.second))

to make it:

    speed = getRealType("speed", SI.meter.divide(SI.second))

and _then_ speed is indeed returned as null when this is run via the
editor, so the exception is thrown.

I verified that this does work just fine in the command line window, and
as a stand-alone script.

On a whim, I closed the editor and opened it back up, and reloaded your
script (File->Open).  Then it ran just fine.  Hmmmm.

I restarted the editor and again pasted in your text, which (after
un-commenting as above) caused it to fail.  I then changed the name from
"speed" to "spee" and it also ran fine -- if I changed it back to
"speed" I got the exception you noted.

So....it looks like there is some problem with the name "speed" related
to the editor - have no ideas at this point, so I'll have to leave it to
Curtis to comment on.
