ok. i see my mistake now. 

now that's been solved. now I have solve routine bringing back numbers
like...


{{y[0] == -0.4018557514460829 - 1.486847345781845*I, 
  x[0] == 0.5 + 1.8499764410878863*I, 
  z[0] == 0.2124216262618104 + 0.78595000832385*I}, 
 {y[0] == -0.4018557514460829 + 1.486847345781845*I, 
  x[0] == 0.5 - 1.849976441087886*I, 
  z[0] == 0.2124216262618104 - 0.7859500083238501*I}}

what does that mean?  why all those imagiinary numbers?  is that
correct?  and Chop doesn't get rid of them.  maybe they are actual
solutions?
