format directive problem

[bambi@informatik.uni-wuerzburg.de (Stefan K. Bamberger)]

Hi,

I want to use the ~ directive to break up my program code in more suitable
lines.
As I won't get the NEWLINE and the SPACES I wrote ~:@.
Unfortunately that will result in an error in MCL2.0.1.

Writing ~: oder ~@ is no problem, but I need the combination!
In CLtL2 there is no remark, that the combination is not allowed.

example:

(format nil "What a nice text!~%~a lines will be fine ~:@
             but I write only 2.~2% (click to close ...)" 4)
