Hello,

if I write this program into the editor:

' from a => b

and I save this, then I get after reopening the code this:

' from a >= b

So the syntax checker "corrects" my comments, but everything written after a comment ' should be unchanged, isn't it?

There are more:

' a$=MM.INFO$(flash)

/*
0 = 1
a$=MM.INFO$(flash)
*/

maybe we'll find even more.
But I think Peter knows the phenomenon, so don't get excited.

If we had a list of more examples we could evaluate whether there is a problem.
Kind regards

This is strange, it looks as if the conversion from => to >= is being done in the preprocessor before it realises that it is a comment.
