This may save someone else the half hour of frustrated head-scratching
it caused me:  if you have
	readterm(<domain>, <variable>)
in your Turbo Prolog 2.0 program, and at run-time it complains
about an unrecognised functor, the problem _may_ really be a
blank line.

Why won't Turbo Prolog allow layout characters in data terms?
Perhaps this is how they get the "huge increase in speed" they
boast of?  (Actually, I _don't_ get any huge increase in speed
compared with ALS...)
