Problem with CONSTANT

[Minion]

Not sure if this is a bug or not, can anyone else confirm this for me ?

when using constant I get funny results.

I defined the following ....

CONSTANT CR$ = CHR$(13)

But whenever I use it in a string value, it returns the path for the EXE file i`m running

Using " "+CHR$(13) returns some very weird characters indeed

But if I use just " " it works fine.

Am I missing something here, or doing something wrong ? Or can I not set a constant to CHR$(13) ?

I can confirm your problem and i know what it is:
You cant assign a function to a constant (cuz it may change in some situations), it need to be a constant expression. But here is your solution:
CHR$(13) = "\r"
CHR$(10) = "\n"

So just make it
COSTANT CR$ = "\r"
and it should work fine.
