I solved my issue by restarting the terminal program.  The code now compiles.  And I also tested on Win10 and go 1.16.

I'm glad I asked my question, because nothing I read said that all I had to do to use modules is to go into each code directory I use and

   go mod init <module-name>


Perhaps that simple instruction could be added to the documentation?

It would help complete idiots (or dummies) like me.

---------------------------------------------------
Now I have a curious problem.  Most of the code I've written is compiling.  I'm using go 1.15.8 under ubuntu.  I did

    I'm logged into ~/go/src

    export GO111MODULE=on

    cd multack            This is my code

    go mod init multack

    cd ..

    Now I'm back in ~/go/src

    go install multack

I get an error saying that "package multack is not in GOROOT (usr/local/go/src/multack)"

If I do

    go run multack/multack.go

That works.

What does this error message mean?

Thanks again.
