[mono-vb] Bug

Hi,

Good idea, I'll try to fix this.

I just had a look and it's there, you just have to add a reference to Microsoft.JScript.dll

You shouldn't have to do that, why do you think so?

Could you please attach the files to the mail instead of copy-paste them into the body? Your mailer has wrapped the lines, and it's not valid VB code anymore.
