OSX/Windows issue

[Peter Haworth]

Hi Richard,
The exact line is:

relayer tControlToRelayerID before getLineInfo(pendline+1,"longID")

As mentioned, it compiles fine on OSX under 5.5.4 even though the relayer
command doesn't exist in that version.

After the startup error on Windows, I tried a compile of the script and got
the same error:

(Commands: missing ',') near "before", char 18

char 18 is the start of "tControlToRelayerID"

Apart from the issue of why it compiles OK on OSX but not Windows which I
assume must be a bug of some sort, I'm wondering what "as needed" means?
 Seems like it's when the stack is opened, not when a handler is executed
since there's no way this script could be executing at startup even if
running under v6+.

I plan on entering a bug report on this but in the meantime I'm hoping
someone will come up with a workaround (other than having 2 separate
version of the stack!)  I know some languages have conditional compile
switches but I don't think LC does.
