Hi,
I'm trying to compile this rc file using rcl.

I got a lot of errors early in the menu part of the
file. Then I guessed rcl wouldn't recognize {} chars.
So, I replaced them by BEGIN/END pairs.
Then, the menu part compiled fine but the computer
issued an illegal operation window message.

Here are the messages, source of the rc file and the
..h file involved.

TIA for any help.
