This one is amazing in its strangeness.  This has to do with the automatic
indentations in scripts.

Try:
	if offset("abc",it) <> 1 then

The lines following will indent as expected.  Fine.  This works, too:

	if offset(" abc",it) <> 1 then

(Note the space before the "abc".)  And this works:

	if offset("a bc",it) <> 1 then

(Note the space inside of "abc".)  But this doesn't:

	if offset("abc ",it) <> 1 then

All the lines to the end of the script are indented only to the level of this
"if" statement.
