Without actually viewing what you are viewing, I'll hazzard a guess:
you're using an Internet/bitnet gateway.  Don't do that and it
might work as you desire.

One syntax that seems to work:
 
// command ,
// operands
 
 
Notice the space before and after "command"
as well as the space before "operands"
