[MiNT] GEM edit field question

[Lonny Pursell <atari@bright.net>]

Hi,

I'm very curious about something.  Whilst making my gfa editor and adding
the search feature I had a problem.  The 'at' sign or '@' is used
extensively in GFA as the short form for 'gosub'.  The Problem as you may
have guessed is that typing '@my_routine' gives a blank edit field.

Never fully understood this.  Only have theories.

Is it just a bad design from 1985 when the assumption was the '@' char would
probably not be used?  Anyone know?  Documented somewhere?
