Hi prospect, when you you have a syntax error indicating the last line of the program, it is very often the case that the actual error is somewhere earlier, sometimes much earlier, in the code. In these cases, the error is quite often a missing semi-colon, a missing closing quote mark for a string, a missing closing parenthesis or square bracket, and so on.	[reply]
