Interesting.

*CRUNCH BCLSVT removes the REM statement from the second line when 
I've loaded the program and then pressed <Escape>. However I can't get 
the script file to do it then save it:

BBC Script
Machine BBC B
OSCLI"BFS"
LOAD"VICTORY"
OSCLI"CRUNCH BCLSVT:":SAVE"VICTORY2"
HMLOAD

Any idea why?

Incidentally, what does ":" do as I didn't use that within BASIC? 
There are still colons in the listing.

thanks,

Andrew
