View Ref-FileWhen working with old source files for the very first time, the best thing to
do is load it into the original GFABASIC editor and save it as ASCII (*.LST).
Then merge the ASCII lisitng into GBE. This allows GBE to re-tookenize the
file and flag any lines it doesn't like.

Due to many new commands and functions the potential for a conflict with a
variable name has increased. The parser might re-write a line in an unexpected
way or flat out refuse it with a syntax error.

GBE might flag a syntax error with '==>'. It's similiar to a comment, however
it causes the compiler to issue and erorr message. Lines flagged with '==>'
generates the message 'xx ==> - not compiled'.

Examples:

  PRINT DTA&           -> PRINT DTA;&H0
  PRINT systab_width&  -> Syntax error at '_'
