Re: Future H-specs (was MOVE opcode in freeform (was Strange behavior w/%editc)

Hi Rob,

Parentage... -I'll have to look that one up :-)

I don't see why the fancy H-spec would disallow a line to be continued using
+/- just as it can now.

If I recall the earlier discussion here correctly,  the semicolon had to be
added in order for the compiler to be able to parse a line containing more
than one statement?

Best regards,
Carsten Flensburg
