Console chokes on comment with ill formed string

 [1/3] from: greggirwin::mindspring::com at: 31-Oct-2001 14:07


Does anyone know why the console chokes when you enter something like this:
>> ; ignore "this string
** Syntax Error: Missing " at ; ignore "this string If the string is inside a comment, why does it care? Executing the same thing outside the console works fine. Is it something for feedback? How did I discover this you ask? Well, I was pasting some stuff into the console for testing, made some changes and ended up with a bad string in a comment. WHAMMO! --Gregg

thing outside the console works fine. Is it something for feedback? I'd send it to [feedback--rebol--com]. Andrew Martin ICQ: 26227169 http://valley.150m.com/
