[Slackers] Just another bug report - this time in sirius :)

Yo Jaymz,

If I could remember back that far... nah.  I'm sure I did it to maintain
compatibility with Merlin (and hence my old source codes).  In fact, I
checked the Merlin manual and it said that alternate syntaxes are

 txt 'blah',050d00

i.e. commas not required, which is cool for strings.  Doesn't look like I
did that though, ah well.

Usually I just use dfb after txt for anything other than 0d or 00, I
guess.

What's the issue here?  (Like, what needs to be converted?)
