Hi guynamedbathgate,

You need to remove the line number in front of the sub routines and it should work then.  The O line cannot have a line number.

Regards,

I have the same problem with version 3.037.  Version 3.032 works fine though.
Sample--2 simple squares.
Any help is appreciated.

Always make sure you have a return on the last line, that is the most common cause of non running subs.

Putting a % at the start and end of the programs helps.

Add the red bits and it works, I don't know what has changed in Mach .037 but I will have a word with Brian about it.

I added code to tell Mach not to run a sub if thre is an L of 0 and looks like the default is 0 not and not 1 :( . I will see if I can change that :)
Thanks
Brian
