Thank you for the reply. Actually I didn't notice that the character
in the program was slightly different from the one in my comment until
a few hours after posting my message. I am also using a UK keyboard
which must be where the problem came from. The key to the left of
the 1 works for compiling, so my problem is solved. Phew, I thought I
might have to use a windows editor like notepad :-)
