Sorry for the trailing spaces! They were not in the original, and
must have been introduced when I pasted from the source file into
the email. When I pasted back just now from the email into a file,
and searched using "/ $" in vim, I found three:
1. After the "{" in the last occurrence of "for i=0 to 11 do {"
2. After the "\" in "line invis from (-x0,-y0) to (x0,y0) \"
thee lines below
3. After the final "}"
Only the second of these really matters, since it then gives
"\ " at the end of the line, which kills the line-continuation
function of "\", and therefore introduces a syntax error into
the PIC code.
And of course a trailing space is invisible to the reader ...
Best wishes to all,
Ted.
