Replace the point with a comma in those lines:

    Print At 1.1,exponent
    Print At 2.1,mantissa
    Print At 2.10,Dec2 Flt1

thanks, stupid error. IT COMPILES NOW

[top204]

When the compiler's parser saw the Floating Point value "2.10", it rounded it down to 2, and looked for the X position parameter, but it saw the text "Dec2", and that is not a variable, so it gave the correct error!

With the two previous Print At commands, it used the rounded down values of "1.1" and "2.1" as the line parameters, and variables "exponent" and "mantissa" as the X position variables, but there was nothing to print after them, so it carried on to the next line. No error was needed because they were valid.

There is a big difference between a comma and a decimal point to the parser. :-)
