I am doing this in view mode as I know it doen't work in browse. I enter on the command line: x ";" all (trying to get rid of the ;(also tried ") The message returned is incomplete string So I hit f1 to get a better idea of what went wrong and I get: Put an ending quote at the end of the string. I thought I did by surrounding the cahr I want to isolate with tics and 2x tics. What am I missing??
