syntax error help

[Kristian Nilssen]

Nice one. I had some tabs AFTER the line "myvar = panelindex * 6 + 1".
It took me a few hours to write my grads script and 24 hours to debug a
stupid syntax error like that. Why is the grads language so strict
regarding whitespace? I presume the grammar is written for lex? It would
be a fairly simple matter to sort out the annoying issue of tabs.

regards,
Kristian.
