Check your source code (including header files) to see if 'delay_1_msec' 
has been delared as a macro (or manifest constant).

Check that you have actually inserted the code in a place that is valid.

e.g.

	int	fred
		bert;

changed to


	int	fred

void delay_1_msec (void)
	{
	count = 110;
	while (count>0)
		{
		count--;
		}
	}


		bert;
