I have just started using TADS and am having rather odd things happen with
the compilation of my programs.  The file will compile normally one time,
but after only changing text it will give errors the next.  Changing the
"white space" characters within methods also will sometimes give errors or
get rid of them...such as the difference between:

doTake( actor ) = { "You can't pick up a liquid! "; }
 
and
 
doTake( actor ) = 
     {       
       "You can't pick up a liquid! ";
     }
 
has changed whether I got an error message or not.
 
Does anyone know why?  Have I missed something?
