This should be:
Lowstring newpar "^ ";
String 0 #newpar;

Well, Inform will do this, but when I try to play the game the interpreters
crash, claiming an illegal opcode (Ive tried both ZIP and ITF). Is this
Inform being naughty, the interpreters or something else?

Yes, I think I agree with this after all, though Adventions use indents to
