Alarm: Spurious "`C" in help tokens
| Reported by: | David Thomas (43) | Severity: | Normal |
| Part: | RISC OS: Application | Release: | |
| Milestone: | Status | Fixed |
Details by David Thomas (43):
Alarm’s “Set clock” window has some slightly mangled interactive help text. e.g. The year icon’s help text says “This is the `Creplacement year for the computer’s clock.”

This is in the 5.16 ROM release.

If you look near the start of the messages file you will see a number of tokens that all begin with “`” these are all to save space and are automatically translated when a message string is parsed.
“`C = currently selected”
I downloaded the disc based version of Alarm 2.79 and ran the development version 2.80: On my RO4 machine they produce the expected help string “This is the currently selected replacement year for the computer’s clock.”
Within Alarm is the line P%=INSTR, perhaps the “`” becomes corrupted in building the ROM version.
