I have continually encountered minor difficulties in editing scripts in j7
displays, related to disappearance and reappearance of newlines and leading
blanks when copying and pasting within or between execution and script windows.
It had become clear to me that there is some form of invisible formatting
information at the front of each line.
In the last few days I have been struggling with encapsulating some debugging
commands for convenience, and run into major inconveniences--spelling errors
pointing to various uses of 13!:3. I thought that I had boiled down the
examples to a significant few, but kept getting inconsistent results as I tried
variations. At long last, I examined the stored script with a. i., and found
those formatting characters faithfully copied in front of the "erroneous" verb.
Executing < 226 128 139{ a. will show the invisibility of the three-character
sequence found in my screen-copied example.
I would hope that the file-updating portions of the JHS code could weed out
these characters when pasted in places where they don't belong. Thanks.
