Hi. Let me start by saying that I wouldn't be the biggest VB wizard (and I can't check this because I'm waiting for IT to get me a license for the Visual Studio .NET), but I don't remember that the first line of a source file has to start with a keyword.
Basically, I couldn't figure out why my stupid hello world program wouldn't work, but then I did one without comments and it worked. If you start the file with either a blank line or a comment, the compiler gives the following error: $ mbas hello.vb syntax error, expecting EOF CLASS DELEGATE ENUM FRIEND IMPORTS INTERFACE MODULE NAMESPACE OPTION PRIVATE PROTECTED PUBLIC SHARED STRUCTURE OP_LT Line: 2 Col: 0 VirtLine: 2 Token: 308 : Parsing error in hello.vb hello.vb(2) error BC9999: Mono.MonoBASIC.yyParser.yyException: irrecoverable syntax error in <0x00701> 00 Mono.MonoBASIC.Parser:yyparse (Mono.MonoBASIC.yyParser.yyInput) in <0x00244> 00 Mono.MonoBASIC.Parser:parse () Compilation failed: 1 Error(s), 0 warnings is this really how it is supposed to be? Sorry for asking such a bone-headed question, but something bone-headed like this wouldn't surprise me since VB these days just seems like a series of bolt-ons on top of bolt-ons.
