In a text block commented out with $If 0 - $EndIF, the control character "→" appears at some point. This causes PB 3.5 to assume that the file ends here, which is acknowledged with error 436 during compilation.
There used to be this bug with the "ü", but it was fixed quite quickly.
Perhaps of interest and use to someone.

Edit:
Dieser Fehler tritt auch beim Auskommentieren mit "'" oder "Rem" auf.

Edit 2 (sorry for German language):
This error also occurs when commenting out with “'” or “Rem”.]]>

The love affair with PowerBASIC began for me in the early 1990s, when I received my first PBDOS compiler program disk and manual (Version 2.1). It wasn't long before I moved up the cyber-ladder to Versions 3.0, 3.2 and finally the wonderful PBDOS 3-point-5.

I'm sure that many will agree that PBDOS and its IDE was a welcome change from Microsoft's QBasic/Quickbasic. The QB's were mmmmm, OK, but had several limitations, and at times  produced a lot of frustrations.

With PBDOS in general, and V35 in particular, it was wonderful writing programs, aided by several statements and functions not found in the QB's.

If I could pick some statements/functions to add to PBDOS, which would later appear in the Console Compiler series, then these -- BUILD$, CHOOSE/CHOOSE$, WAITKEY$ and XPRINT  -- would be at the top of the wish list.

So, that's my story. albeit a brief one. What's yours?
