I shoulda said what the problem was.. (problems were.. in fact:)
1) I am useless at functions
2) The entities referred to arenot declared on compile time, because I think Blitz compiles functions first - this was what gave me the headache!
Luckily, I just need a few random placings of sprites that will remain where they are on the terrain, without the need to update - So I can get way fwith not using the functions safely ;-)
Edit: I just noticed I started two sentences with 'anyhow'. I will proceed to torture myself accordingly, so have no worries that I won't suffer for my wrongdoing.
I have a habit of putting 'However' in every paragraph. However, I'll only use it once here ;-)
Thanks for getting back to me, Noel - Good luck with your new ideas

I recommend you just write your own code.
