I've been working with the propeller spin tool but when I copy some code from a book(Programming Propeller with spin) I have been work with I get an error "unrecognized character" right after the CON keyword. Any suggestions on this, or is this something I shouldn't do - copy and paste I mean.

    It's probably some formatting character used in laying out the book. My first thought was that it's a tab, but I thought the Propeller tool accepted tabs. Find a text editor that lets you look at the character codes in your text file. There are all sorts of those for the Mac or Linux, but I'm not familiar enough with Windows applications to advise you if that's the case. In any event, cutting and pasting works with the Propeller Tool, but you have to be pasting in text that it understands.

    If you save the text as plain text first, and then open the plain text file, you may have a better chance of cutting and pasting the code.
