True. As a workaround, copy/paste from the FBtoC log window.

Usually it does; Undefined vars etc. are pointed out explicitly. An  
"unknown statement" error message that shows just the local fn line of  
a function typically means there is a syntax error in the structure of  
the local fn statement itself. I can't promise a fix for this.

The double "fn fn" as coded also does not produce an explicit error  
message.
