Jeff,

 You probably figured this out already, but I'll send this out anyway.
 Instead of using "x=-1" try "x = -1".  This should parse correctly.
 C originally allowed -= and =- to mean the same thing.  Apparently
 Laser C still let's you do this. That's why I *always* put spaces
 around my operators!
