I keeep getting a Syntax Error with this code I am trying to do a straffing Hovertank which also turns so it uses the 6 axies I believe that Dark Basic can do it as I have tried it with Scopyo's Hilled code but I can 't seem to get this to work, can anyonehelp please?

rem STRAFFING, TURNING HOVERCRAFT
rem ==========================================
rem This is an attempt to make a hovercraft which turns,
rem goes foward and backward and straffes, to be a basis for a hovertank
