Retry – forgot the quotes

OK – I made a note of this advice – let’s see how it works for me:

This is a bit of code
and another line
and another line

This may return us to normal – or not as the case may be!

What I did there was: The first bit, then a new line starting with the bc..[space] followed by the “code” lines, and then I started the “return to normal” line with the p.[space] and then my last line following straight on.
And it seems to have worked for me …

No quotation marks were used at all with the instruction codes – I think they were there just to identify the bits you type in.

But I do wish there was a more helpful/relevant guide than the reference given below – which is from a long time ago and not fine-tuned to our particular needs.

The model is OK – what you type and what results from it, but it doesn’t mention at all this issue (no bc.. at all!), and a more relevant guide would be welcome!

It’s "bc.. " – that is with a trailing space but no quotes around it. The "p. " is the same wrt space and quotes.

That really doesn’t look good in Sargasso, tho’!

But then, neither did mine!

Not even tempting!

Cue James Bursa:

All good in NetNewsWire on the Mac.

Sargasso is not quite so accurate.

Retry after Steve and Johns help…

Phew!!! That works – thanks John and Steve. I’ve looked at the guide but as John mentioned where’s bc.. and p. ?
