Thank you so much!  I had tried indenting the 'where toString q' from
the 'instance' statement and then the guards indented more than that,
but it had not occurred to me that the guards still were not indented
more than the beginning of the words 'toString q'.

I won't tell you how long I spent trying to figure out what was wrong.
At least I asked before I took my computer in to the shop for repairs!

Thanks again,
