To catch errors of this kind, perhaps a regex could be added to the package library like ^[\@\%]. That should catch lines that start with something they're not supposed to.

Heh. Link doesn't work, but I know what you're talking about. You're referring to the instance of:

#FORALL @something {%i}

Instead of:

#FORALL @something {#EXEC %i}

And I agree. That'd be a nice improvement. I know several of my scripts from zMUD start with a function, and I just don't have the time to search through them all to see where they're at. *sigh*

Thanks, I couldn't remember if it was startlines or startcommands. Fixed it now.

Of course, the regex I've given wouldn't catch your example and it's difficult for a regex to know when a parameter is a command and when it's a value (for example, {%i} is a perfectly valid parameter to the #say or #var commands). But it'll catch simpler instances and, if you add \s+ to the start, instances when it's used as part of a multi-line syntax.
