Arduino issues

OK, even though Arduino is supposed to make us older farts equal to the young dudes in programming, I will readily admit that I am useless at it which is even more embarrassing as I was an electronics technologist 30 years ago. ARRRGGGG.

So all I am trying to do is take the Mega, and sensor shield, add a 10k thermister (2 wire, not the digital stuff that I never see in the heating industry) and see the temp change on the screen.

I followed a thread on yourduino to do this and got errors that I cannot explain and it seems, I cannot even find definitions to some of the phrases given at the bottom of the page when trying to verify the program.

Here is an example:

"was not declared in this scope"

What does that mean? I cannot find a glossary of terms used anywhere. HHHheeeellllpppp (please)
