Thanks for your help, Carl.  Where did you find the documentation for
the command number_field_elements_from_algebraics(c)?
    Yes, i'd find it very useful to have ideal and variety
computations over QQbar implemented.  I don't have the know-how or the
time at present to do this myself, but i am learning more about Sage
every day and my next job might support this endeavor more than my
present one.  So perhaps in the future i can work on this.
