Nope, here is correct.

Err, according to my passing through OC a large number of programs/modules
from MF Workbench etc, and OC then complaining, I would suggest not so.
'/' are not an accepted character, which is used to eject page on printing and
as the compiler does not really produce full reporting (other than via the -P
flag) it would not get used so sounds reasonable that it is not liked :)
Also the MF other printer control tags, as far as I know also not liked
(migration was too long ago).
However certain aspects of the $IF, $ELSE & $END are accepted although I do
seem to get some mixed results.
