Yup - it sure does.  The reason for this is that the ; character is
a way to put a note into the LOGCFG.DAT file, so it gets ignored - 
and thus you end up with a SPACE for the start sending now key.  

Since the space is intercepted for this purpose (even though it doesn't
actually do anything at this time), it doesn't get processed as a 
real space.  

I will fix this in the next release so that if you have something like
"= ;" in your statement, it won't think it is a comment.
