Line 23:
<br>Using '0' instead of '_' would be safer. _gold is a valid variable name, 0gold is not.

The full quote from the original statement is:
 
:: ''This method pre-prends an underscore (underbar) to avoid collision with any REXX variable names''. &nbsp; ''Therefore, there shouldn't be any REXX variable names (in this program) that have a leading underscore &nbsp; (_)''.
 
The underscore &nbsp; (_) &nbsp; was chosen to make the REXX code more readable,
<br>it was not claimed that &nbsp; ''_gold'' &nbsp; wasn't a valid REXX variable name.
<br>The use of a pre-pended zero makes the elements harder to read/peruse. &nbsp; -- [[User:Gerard Schildberger|Gerard Schildberger]] ([[User talk:Gerard Schildberger|talk]]) 21:19, 25 August 2015 (UTC)
