SYMPTOMS
Two or more adjacent accented e's in a REMark or quoted string incorrectly give a &quot;BLOCK ELSE/END IF must begin line&quot; error message at run time in QuickBasic's interpreter. (You can create an accented e by pressing OPTION+e followed by e.) The problem does not occur in QuickBasic's compiler.

This problem occurs in the interpreter in Microsoft QuickBasic versions 1.00 and 1.00a for Macintosh Systems. This problem is corrected in version 1.00b.

Code Example
REM ee 'Where ee means to press OPTION+e followed by e, then again. One accented e is okay. The problem occurs with two or more accented e's in a row, or when separated by spaces.
