Hello -

I had a syntax error message about a semi-colon. I tracked the cause 
down to not
following the word "while" with the word "do" - a long way from the line the
error message was telling me was wrong. Don't ask me what this has to do
with a semi-colon.

There might be scope for a 'lint' type program that concentrates on 
giving helpful
information about errors without the added burden of trying to compile 
the code.
As it is, perhaps the best error message is "There is an error in this 
code".
This would not be misleading.

Regards

_John Sampson_
