Implementing multi-line comments, other characters..

Hello,


I'm developing a BASIC compiler in C++ and in my reading object
(Reading.h), it checks for the next word to see if it is an
identifier, white space, etc.


I'm trying to implement characters like ņ to be used. I put that under
identifier, but still if you do something in let's say John.bas


Hi Seņor!


It'll give an error (implemented in my errors object). What the
console box does is show a + over a - instead of ņ. Then, it says +
over - is not an identifier or anything else, so it is a bad
name/type.


Also, I want to allow multi-line comments to be used in a BASIC file,
but I'm not sure how to implement this. If you need to see some code
to understand, I can provide it.


Thanks,
Jared
