What were you trying to do?
I was trying to cut and paste the following lines from an emacs buffer
to a maple window.
sum := 0;
for i from 11 by 2 while i < 100 do
sum := sum + i
od;
I did this on 2 different platforms, a vax 3100 and an RS6000
What's wrong:
When I tried doing the above it gave me the following error.
syntax error:
od;
^
I tried various combinations of it and I realised to ge the cut and
pastng to work I had to cut and paste line by line.
What should have happened:
At least intuitively, I believe cutting and pasting should have
worked.
Please describe any relevant documentation references:
