constant CON "string" not working

Huge Demux

Hi!
I was under the impression that since:

clear CON "c"

passes the syntax check, then:

memwrite CON "mw"

would also, but it turns out that I can only declare single letter strings as constants....

isn't it weird? Or am I missing something? So should I use DATA instead of CON?

Since there is no string type, string constants are not allowed. You can store strings in a DATA statement and deal with them one character at a time.
