I realize the parser ignores "whitespace", but why would it combine what are
clearly seperate tokens..  i.e. DO, 10, and I?  Seems like a logic error in the
compiler.

I can understand the I=1.10 error, depending on how I was defined.  But I would
expect that I was defined as an Integer, in which case the compiler "should" have
given an error for trying to assign a decimal to an integer.  From my perspective,
it sounds like they were blaming the programmer for what was really a compiler
error.  Just my opinion...  :)
