I found another problem when moving D7 projects to D8 with the
continuation symbol - apparently '\' is also considered a continuation
symbol in D8 code (at least on Windows) and I had a number of scripts
with comments such as:

sPath = pPaths.root  -- usually = c:\mypath\myfolder\
sVar = "something"
sNewVar = sVar

However, the trailing backslash in the *comment* of the first line was
considered a continuation, so the next line never existed as far as the
interpreter was concerned, and therefore I received an error on line 3
(because sVar 'doesn't exist').

Another bit of joy for Director.

If there is an option to change this, please let me know (if anyone
finds one)!


Kendall.
