This issue may have already been raised but I do not see it in scanning the last 3 pages of discussion.

I have just recently moved to version 16 and have just spent a long time trying to debug a complicated pcf only to discover that there is nothing wrong with it.  The issue arose because I took and existing pcf from the forum, pasted in into TC2000.  Then to edit some changes I copied and pasted it into WordPad, made the edits and copied the result back into an new Custom PCF indicator which resulted in a syntax error.  After much ado, it turns out that if I take the original pcf, copy it into WordPad and make no changes, and copy it back into a new custom pcf indicator, I will get the sytax error.  Same thing happens if I use Word.

I have found a fix by copying the text editor output to the clipboard, doing a paste-special into a cell in Excel, then copying that back into a custom pcf in TC2000.

Seems to me that the new version of TC2000 has lost the capability to handle simple text transfers from common text editors.  It would be nice if that could be fixed.

Thank you for reporting the issue.

I am not sure if anybody else has actually brought it up in any "there is a bug where copy and paste isn't working corrrectly" type posts previously, but it has been addressed in "this formulas doesn't work" type posts in the forums previously.
