Ummm, if you mean C syntax above, then it's "\", not "/"...

Also (from HLA):

%#############

Plus, HLA and RosAsm employ an "underscore" thing where underscores
can be added to separate out the digits (a bit like using a comma ","
(or "." for some non-English languages :) as a "thousands seperator :)
but that these underscores don't actually effect the value at
all...they are just there as a "visual aid" in reading the numbers
back...
