Ok.  I'm passing it to the list for others to see.

Ok, I tried that:

\PassOptionsToPackage{numbers,sort&compress,round}{natbib}

It gave me this:

Package natbib Warning: Author undefined for citation`Shannon1948' 
(natbib)                on page 1 on input line 83.

I did get the condensed form [1-3], but it has brackets.

I got the same result with

\DeclareOption{natbib}{%
  \PassOptionsToPackage{numbers,sort&compress,round}{natbib}}

So it didn't work.
