No syntax error when code is placed in between Select and first Case

Please see the following example.

 Code:
$test=1

select
  ? "HEY THIS IS IMPORTANT!!!! I Shouldn't be here but I am"
 case $test=1
   ? 1
 case $test=2
   ? 2
 case 1
   ? 3
endselect


In the example above, The line right after the select is never run. Any number of statements can be put between the SELECT and the first CASE and they will all be ignored as well. I found this completely by accident, and while it was nice that Kix just kept working despite my syntax error, it would have saved me quite a bit of time trouble shooting the problem had kix just thrown a syntax error when the script was run.

... ah well, never too late to fix a solid syntax error.

I'm working on a mini-update to deal with OS-naming issues related to Windows Server 2019, and I've just fixed this one as well :-)

Thanks for the report!

I'd love to see a new release of KiXtart which correctly reports OS version names.

Any progress on this?
