  • Noob Woes using O'Kane Mumps

    Just installed the Prof.'s interpreter & reading his tutorial.
    I can't seem to get this line of code that I saved to a file, to
    run:
    W "Hello, World!"

    I keep getting this error msg:

    g ^sandbox.mps
    *** in or near line 3:
    *** E13 Keyword

    I tried lowercase "w" and "write", but no joy!
    Yet when I enter the command at the mumps prompt it executes.
    So I somehow butchered the source code in the file, but I can't see
    where or how.

    Advise please!

    I found my problem!
    Column #1 starts a label or is blank.
    I put the code in Column #2 and all is well!
