el problem on Windows
« on: December 04, 2005, 10:40:47 AM »

I am having a problem with the el (evaluate line) command.

Suppose I do
2 s
0 i : t " hello" ;
to insert the line : t " hello" ; into line 0 of block 2

Then, when I do
0 el
I get the error message
TOKEN0: Unable to find or convert the specified token to
a number. The token passed was: hello"

I'm using version 802 I think (at least that's what appears on the top of the stack when I type in version)

The " word is only intended for use at the interpreter, not in a definition. Use s" instead, and it will work.

Code:

2 s
0 i : t s" hello" ;
0 el
