[daip] Bug? multiple commands per line

[Walter Brisken]

Normally, it seems that as long as the 80 character limit is obeyed, two 
commands can be concattenated with a ";" into one line, for example:

INSEQ = 3 ; GO

does the same as:

INSEQ = 3
GO

For the large astrometry project I've been working on, I have reduction 
scripts for each epoch, and each is named the same (eg. XLOAD.001 is the 
script to load data).  Each script lives in a different directory, and the 
scripts are chosen with VERSION = '...' .

I found, to my dismay, that:

VERSION = 'EPOCH1' ; RUN XLOAD

is not the same as

VERSION = 'EPOCH1'
RUN XLOAD

The difference is that the VERSION =  seems to be ignored.  
PRINT VERSION after the concattenated version above returns the value 
VERSION had before the line was executed and the XLOAD from that directory 
was run.  One thing that may be peculiar about the scripts is that they 
include a VERSION =  line in them.  I'm not sure that makes a difference.
