Here are the sequence of events that led to the solution: 1- ROS Electric and ROS Fuerte were both installed and working well under Ubuntu 10.04. 2- To use the V-REP Simulator, one must use ROS Fuerte with Ubuntu 12.04 3- There was an "Upgrade button" in Ubuntu 10.04 that would merge the old data in Ubuntu 10.04 with the new OS files in Ubuntu 12.04 4- When installing ROS Fuerte, there we numerous conflicts with data of older ROS releases that were not designed to work with ROS Fuerte under Ubuntu 12.04. 5- I received exemplary advice from Lorenz where he was correct on every count. Although recommendations would fix my "current" issues, there was a distinct probability that several more issues would arise later as more conflicts surface during system use. 6- The final solution was to install a pristine version of Ubuntu 12.04 and perform a clean installation of ROS Fuerte. The "Upgrade" button in Ubuntu 10.04 probably works fine as long as there are no data conflicts with new program data and old program data.
