This got me going.  I also deduced that I should have specified that I am 
using DSSSL instead of XSL.  I did this:

$ grep -r shade /usr/share/sgml/docbook/*

Then I did this (as root):
 $ vi /usr/share/sgml/docbook/dsssl-stylesheets-1.72/html/dbparam.dsl

I searched on "shade" and found:

(define %shade-verbatim% #f)

which I changed to:

(define %shade-verbatim% #t)

Then I ran my Makefile and reloaded the HTML output. Voila! Shading!

I liked this better than editing the dbparam.dsl file. So I undid the changes 
I made above.  I edited my Makefile to include the -V option noted above.  
Eventually I found that "-V%shade-verbatim%" worked.

Thanks for the links.  I was actually looking for these before I wrote.  I 
have them bookmarked.

Thank you for the help.  This experience is yet another example of how well 
open source communities work.
