When an ampersand is encountered, script stops #22

I've been trying to put "&!" in typer. Whenever typer comes across this, it ceases to type. I took away the exclamation point, and it still doesn't work, but if I just use the exclamation point it still works. So, it has to be the ampersand. I'm sure this must need an escape somewhere, either in the typer code or my code, but it's a problem. I'd really like to use typer with these characters. I'm using it for a school project that's due in April.

Thanks, &! (bitandbang)

Have you tried &&excl; instead of &! ? I think it will work then.

bnb commented 10 years ago

I didn't try &excl;, but I did try & with the same result.

same problem here. I tried & and & Did anyone find a workaround to this?
