In Gambas, you can't put a "$" in the beginning of a variable name !
Or dou you mean the LAST character ?
Or am I wrong, and it is a compiler bug then.

Same remark than before, but replace "$" by "#".

The DIM is not useful in gambas. I keep it not to cloud guys knowing 
Visual-Basic.

Gambas is inspired by Basic, but does not follow exactly its rules, because 
some are not useful anymore.
