This sounds like a character encoding issue. NAB was written in the days
when ASCII reigned supreme, so I doubt that it has any kind of unicode-like
support. This seems to suggest that your code *somewhere* has a non-ASCII
character somewhere in it.
Common culprits are curly quotation marks (they should be straight
up-and-down) and a hyphen (-) being automatically turned into an m- or
n-dash. This could happen if you copy-and-paste your code from some kind
of "sophisticated" editor (like common word processors or perhaps some PDF
files) and pasted it into a text file.
If you send me your file, I will try to take a look.
HTH,
Jason
