Yeah, only spaces that come right after a newline.

That way, stuff like COMMAND(ARG, ARG) would be left the same.

argument 1 and argument 2.  like text(x,y

I mean how some people like to add spaces for padding between arguments in a line. I'm suggesting an added check to see if the spaces are at the beginning of the line before removing them, which would take care of the string bug as well

oh, ok, never thought about that

quick question.  why would you have COMMAND(ARG,   ARG) ?

i guess it's a programmer's choice.
regardless, the string bug could easily be handled with this pseudocode:

if read_byte == quotation_token
repeat read_byte == quotation_token
read_byte = next_byte
end
end

that way, it ignores everything within quotations.

So, I understand why you would leave this:
While 1
 If 1
.Note
 End
EndLike it is, but is this:
While 1
 If 1
.  Note
 End
EndA possibility?
Or perhaps this:
While 1
 If 1
..Note
 End
End

It makes it easier to see where the comments lie, especially deep into methods.
