Yum had a relatively long pause before it gave me the same 
old error messages as usual after modifying the script. But 
after running it once, it returns to instantly giving me the 
error messages. (Don't the variables stay set for the 
duration of the script anyway, so that the calling of yum at 
the end is affected by those variables? When I was trying to 
use a local repository, it seemed to work that way -- I 
needed to not use the proxy for that, and used the script as 
it stands above to do so...)
