Tachyon newbie question re BLINKY

in Propeller 1
I have managed "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" on your piano:
However but when I try something a little harder such as:
It would seem that when I am issuing commands from my ESP to do something like PWM or generate tones I have to issue a series of a commands like a script rather than a single command.
10 FOR 0 HIGH 20 ms 0 LOW 20 ms NEXT
The LED flashes... happy days!However but when I try something a little harder such as:
:BLINKY 10 for 1 HIGH 100 ms 1 LOW 100ms NEXT;
The terminal reports back this:
... :BLINKY ??? 10 for ??? 1 HIGH 100 ms 1 LOW 100ms ??? NEXT; ??? --> ok

Tyoe WORDS to list out the dictionary and you will see : and ; have an entry. What you type can only be recognized if it is in the dictionary or it is a number, or some kind of special literal.
BTW, taking into account that you need a space, have a look at Hello World and notice where the spaces are.
: HELLO PRINT" Hello World!" ;
HINT: PRINT" or ." are words
Have a look at EXTEND.FTH source and you might be able to see where it starts up at boot, checks for any user init routines, and also starts up a background timing task in another cog etc.
btw - try the inbuilt blinky routine and type
0 BLINKY
then speed it up15 HZ
