X11 Basic outputs wrong value for a negative expoent value

[Eric Erpelding]

In my version 1.27 X11 Basic MS Windows program I write
G1 = 6.6743e-011
but "Print G1" results in:
8.839635186158e-062
Why is this?

EDIT: To get the correct value I have to write this in the source code.

G1 = 6.6743/10^2
G1 = G1*10

then "Print G1" will give the correct value:
6.6743e-011

Strange. ran this on another computer and got the correct result

G=6.67e-11
Print G

This comment is causing the problem!

G1 = 6.6743E-11 ' m^3 kg^-1 s^-2

The presence of this comment is affecting the value of the assignment.

REM, ' and # can only be at the start of a line. You have to use ! after any other statement. Yup, other Basics often use ! as bitwise OR. You'll get used to it!
