RE: [WDSCI-L] Continuation line problems with 5.1.2.2

[Vernon Hamberg <vhamberg@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

My mistake, Charles - never had to use this, and it's been a while. Am glad 
to know about it, however.

I think I found an answer, though. At any rate, I tried this and get 
similar results, I think. When I press ENTER, I get "RNF3301E The Name 
entry is not valid; specification ignored." I think this is of nuisance 
value only, as it applies to the new line just added, I think.

To suppress it, you can turn off automatic syntax checking in Preferences. 
The problem is, it inserts a line with only the spec letter ("D" in this 
case), and that line does not pass syntax checking as is. Same thing has 
been bugging me in the RPGIII editor, too.

You can also keep syntax checking by turning off the option to repeat the 
previous specification. This would insert a blank line, which will pass 
muster. Just tried it, it was just what I want.
