Trying your example of: myVar = 1 gives me:
We're mixing examples here Mark. My comments about language and operators in particular string operators (from me) was about the URL "file:" & myVar example, not the traditional assignment one.
Type Expression: double binary operator Object Button 1 Line myVar = 1 Hint =
Yeah - it gives me that too :-(
I think I was misunderstanding that error message - and by then I was just so frustrated I had to do something else before I had any chance of slowing down and thinking again.
Or (clutching at straws) maybe I had actually written
put myVar = 3
which doesn't give an error.I don't see where this falls into the category of "the language design not helping to spot it". Even with the buggy error handler. It's annoying, and I'm constantly typing stuff like this and having to correct myself, but it *does* get caught.
It might be that the error handler was (or seemed to be) pointing at a different line, and that's why I was confused.
No matter - I've had enough help and encouragement from you all that I'm back ready to give it another enthusiastic try .... and none of the issues finished up being Bugzilla entries (though I do have a list of those to enter when I've re-verified them :-)
