I tried to go back and paste my sample in as well and got an error.
Since I took it from a running example this made me curious.
I then discovered that the line interpreter is fussy about needing
an unclosed block on the function declaration line and my word processor
was helping out a bit too much by moving the next open block down.
time-ampm: func [dt]
[stuff]
gives an error when pasted.
time-ampm: func [dt] [
stuff]
does not.
I understand that this is due to the parser/linescanner presuming an
unclosed block means more is coming and the linscanner in this instance
does not get a hint that 'func wants another argument.
