Details:

The GUI gives an 'error : load: bogus identifier ' or ' nameerror: load: bogus
identifier' if the script it reads in contains a variable definition and then
a comment after it with the 'name' word in it.

Simple example attached. The error doesn't happen if you type the same line
into the command window. The command line version does not have the same
problem.

Solution for my example was to expand 'name' to 'filename' in the comment.
