in reply to Syntax Error Messages (was: Beginner needs help (in more ways than one !))

It looks like the error isn't on line 4 of your code, but compilers can sometimes get a bit confused about line numbers.

I'm willing to bet that there's something wrong a bit higher up in your program. Can you show us the first dozen or so lines.
