The problem seems to have been not enough memory.  My RAM expansion came in
today, and now 'SAY' works fine.  Clearly 'Out of heap space' or something
similar should have been the appropriate error message.
 
If anyone is considering ordering a RAM expansion for $125 (total), Starpoint
Software was prompt in delivering, and the expansion works.  Hopefully it is
reliable too.  I was nervous about ordering a product from a small company,
but the $70 difference from the official Commodore expansion was too tempting.
