Actually, his original code is correct. For me it runs without error in  
the IDE using
the 3.10 development version, but the editor is indeed having trouble  
matching the
parentheses.

I also tried it on the playground (which also uses 3.10) and it works
fine :  
https://gambas-playground.proko.eu/?gist=97ed16795393aa3b68913025e5d2b83c .

However the playground's editor does match the parentheses correctly. :)

Which Gambas version are you using ? There may be an old bug here.
