Solution found -- I strongly dislike Windows
snippet with problem glyph
1 repeat with i = 1 to number of lines of tAll
2 set cursor to busy
3 if gLetterSelected ≠ char 1 of item 2 of line i of tAll then next repeat
4 else exit repeat
5 end repeat
when line 3 is changed to;
if gLetterSelected is not char 1 of item 3 of line i of tAll then next repeat
everthing now compiles as expected. In other words the glyph ≠ does not compile in Windows either in the Mac IDE or compiler or the Windows IDE ( have not compiled in Windows because I prefer to debug in Mac). Again Windows exe compiled in the Mac compiler works perfectly on the Windows laptop.
Because the Mac compiler did not tell me of the failure, other Windows things were broken including the message path for fReadFile and menuPick -- that had me so worried (See posts above).
I may have found a bug !

Not a bug, there are a few symbols that are Mac-only and will fail on other OSs. These are the replacements that work everywhere:
Code: Select all
Is not <> or "is not"
Equal to or greater than =>
Less than or equal to <=
I may have forgotten to include some but those are the common ones.
