Edward,

Thanks for the reply - I have just edited the file with notepad (as
requested) and it now compiles OK!
It seems that RHIDE substitutes the normal | character for some control
code (^Y) which then causes the compiler to have problems.
Is there anyway that I can get RHIDE to use the correct character or do I
have to manually edit all source files in notepad afterwards just so that
they will compile OK.

Anyway thanks for the help

Martin
