Metacommands Ignored inside Macintosh QuickBASIC Interpreter (37314)
This article was previously published under Q37314
SUMMARY
Metacommands (such as $INCLUDE and $IGNORE) are treated as comments in
the interpreter environment QuickBASIC for the Macintosh. The
following information is taken from Page 375 of the "Microsoft
QuickBASIC for Apple Macintosh Systems: BASIC Language Reference":
QuickBASIC only recognizes metacommands when they are in a comment
statement (line beginning with REM or an apostrophe). This means
you can use metacommands when developing programs in the QuickBASIC
environment because the environment ignores them as comments, but
the compiler acts on them.
