Parse error on my very first line of code... go me.

Hi guys,
I'm following the old RTS tutorials over at the TDN (I’m new, still playing with the demo). I've added an exec MouseMove.cs to my Main.cs as you would expect, however it fails to compile the Script file on line 1. The console spews the following at me.
My first thought was that there were some unscrupulous characters hiding in there causing the compiler to choke, I’m using Microsoft Visual C# Express 2008 as my IDE. However, I am fairly sure this is not the case. The top of my MouseMove.cs reads as follows.
Think I might get Torsion with TGB when I get paid. Helpful comments, thoughts, verbal abuse, all welcome.

lol! You know Ryan I was really confused for a moment as to where that onload function had come from. It was not part of my code, then I realised that I had accidently copied and pasted it from the MarkUpLite example. I've amended it now so it looks as it should. I'm such a noob. So yeah the problem still stands.

And the winner is... the Hex Editor. Why didn't I try that first.
