Why do consecutive msg commands bring up a popup menu ?

Topic contains my question. I just want to send two messages one after the other.
I'm trying this :
Code: Select all
msg hash(,,<curitem>,1);
msg hash(,<curitemprev>,1);

Do this :
Code: Select all
msg hash(,,<curitem>,1);
msg hash(,<curitemprev>,1);
Non-indented lines are interpreted as separate scripts. Any non-first line of a script has to be indented.

But the first line of the first (here: first and only) script may be indented, too.
(As long as it is not a caption - and then non-indentation makes sense...)
So I think it looks much better as:
Code: Select all
msg hash(,,<curitem>,1);
msg hash(,<curitemprev>,1);
But it
might also make sense to look like:
Code: Select all
msg hash(,,<curitem>,1) . <crlf 2>
. hash(,<curitemprev>,1);

Indeed, but to me this looks like a parsing bug. I would not count on this behavior in future.

Oh - then I was totally wrong here
Don't know why - but I assumed that only(!) a caption starts in column 1. So I started every non-first script in a file with a caption. (What really makes sense IMHO.)
But if a file only contains 1 script, or at least all other scripts are invisible, I normally started the first ("main") script without a caption, and in Col 4...
So to be really correct in syntax, and to avoit the non-indentation of the first command, it would be best to specify:
Code: Select all
"Main"
msg hash(,,<curitem>,1);
msg hash(,<curitemprev>,1);
I hope that's correct so far?

Yep, that's fine.
