Hello

For S/T 6.1.5.0 if you have a REM line which does not start in column 1, Smart Terminal will remove the leading spaces, but it will not remove the comment. The controller doesn't process it, but it will still end up using program space.

The manual does state that REM needs to be the first item on the line, but when I'm programming loops and conditionals, I like to indent my code for readability. I'm fine that the software strips those leading spaces when it sends the code to the controller, but having a REM statement as the first item in the line in indented code is not pretty. :(

From a programming point of view it would be easy to add this feature (remove a REM line independent of the number of white spaces in front of "REM"). From project point of view - can I add this as a feature request?

Thanks.

That is correct Smart Terminal, and also GalilTools, require that the REM statement be on the first column.

Our new GalilSuite software does not have this requirement.

You can provide future feedback for the GalilSuite software by choosing "Help|Provide Feedback" in any of the tools (ie Editor, Terminal etc).
