Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

This is interesting.
Not fatal, just odd.
run command with symbols on the end does not result in an error, and code still runs.
All other typos cause an error as expected.Smoke makes things work. When the smoke gets out, it stops!

Good catch Grogs.
As you say, not fatal but hopefully Geoff will address.
Out of interest, which firmware & processor(s) are you seeing this on (just to possibly help Geoff eliminate)!

@ WW - No 100's in stock or on-line here at the moment, so can't say.Smoke makes things work. When the smoke gets out, it stops!

You can probably find the same thing on other single commands if you try.
The biggest overhead in MMBasic is the interpreter i.e. reading each Basic statement. With a command like RUN, once the interpreter finds the valid sequence RUN followed by a non alphanumeric it is happy and executes as there are no valid parameters. Hence RUN5 isn't the same as RUN but RUN! is.
Not a bug - just a feature and probably common to every platform

@ Grogster
I got a couple of samples from Microchip, try that if you need some. They also arrived fairly quickly.
