Something wrong with code examples.

FYI
PE Kit Tools: Transmit Square Wave Frequencies

The code examples are scrambled. Very bad in Chrome, not as bad in FireFox. I don't use IE so don't know about that.

    I'm using IE8. The page linked to looks fine to me.

    Yup just tried IE8 and it looks fine there. I guess I'll use IE to go through this tutorial.

    During the transition to the new forum software, there were several cases where source code in the old forum was not displayed in [code] boxes but formatted in some other fashion. The post cited above is one of those cases. Because the new forum does not support a non-breaking space (which the old forum did), another means had to be found to space non-[code] fixed-width text. This was accomplished by the use of a · (dot) character, colored white to blend with the background. If you copy and paste programs formatted this way into the BASIC Stamp editor, the dots will show up and lead to syntax errors. But it's easy to eliminate them by doing a search and replace operation, replacing each dot with a space.

    Thanks for the explanation Phil. I am going to try that out just because.

    You (or at least I ) can select the empty space and see the dots.

    The dots have been exposed.

    The dots are white spaces in the Propeller Tool. You can delete them and all is fine.
