Jayenkai	Take a look at my code, it's CRAZYTOWN!!! Luckily, DD made PMC mostly ignore rogue ;s, so it's happy to play along with the insanity. -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

JL235	Semi-colons are not ignored, they mean something, they are a 'hard' statement separator, stating that two statements must separate at that point. In practice it means you get an extra empty statement, which is ignored. For example a = 4; b = 5; c = a + b --v It's just that a new line is also a statement separator, however it's 'soft', and so only works under certain conditions. The difference is to allow code like this to still work ... a = 5 + 3 --v Personally, I would avoid semi-colons, and I only put them in for completeness. To be honest, I kinda regret that, since you shouldn't need to write multiple statements on a single line. However not everyone agrees with me, so if you do, you can.
