David,  Thanks for the response.  I have already gotten the problem
fixed.  It turned out to be that GRUB is evidently case sensitive, and I
had used a capital T in Title.  Should have been lower case - title.

Bruce Marshall figured out what the problem was.  If I had simply cut
and pasted the example lines in menu.lst instead of entering the lines
from the keyboard, I would never even had to post the problem.

Thanks again,
John

P.S.  I have no idea why the install didn't put the Windows boot entry
in menu.lst.
