I guess my writing wasn't too clear.

I start with the env_module line commented out to get the darn thing
running.  Once it's running, I go back into httpd.conf and UNcomment the
env_module line and restart.  It continues to work through this step.

I then go back again into httpd.conf, and this time uncomment the line:

SetEnv SQWEBMAIL_TEMPLATEDIR /home/vmail/sqwebmail

and then restart yet again.  And it's this time around that it won't
restart.  Or more accurately, it appears to start 'cause I don't get
*any* error msgs, whether on the command line or in the apache logs.
And running 'apache -t' gives a resounding OK.  So one would think that
it's up and running, but there's no PID and any attempts to view a web
page are fruitless.
