This would normally work fine:

```julia
paths = Dict(:A => "dirA", 
             :B => "dirB")

```

But I wanted to use screen to monitor the REPL session via another device. I then kept getting this error:

```julia
julia> paths = Dict(:A => "dirA", )
Dict{Symbol, String} with 1 entry:
  :A => "dirA"

julia> :B => "dirB")
ERROR: ParseError:
# Error @ REPL[2]:1:27
             :B => "dirB")
# ╙ ── extra tokens after end of expression

```

It took me awhile to figure it out, thinking it had to do with newlines and was a screen setting. Instead it appears the OhMyREPL behavior is different for some reason. Ie, this setting fixed the problem:

I figured I’d post it since I didn’t find that info right away. Any idea why I get the different behavior? I see some discussion here:
