Re: Io chokes on sample code

That code would work perfectly in a script.  However, in the REPL, you 
need to put semicolons between statements sometimes.  Within parentheses 
is one of those times.  So, corrected code in the REPL is as follows:

Io> Account := Object clone do(
... balance := 0.0;
... deposit := method(v, balance = balance + v);
... withdraw := method(v, balance = balance - v);
... show := method(writeln("Account balance: $", balance))
... )
