Syntax error message with GW-BASIC

I am currently stymied by the following error message from GW-BASIC:

Syntax error in 450
Ok
450 STEP=0

Here is the context:

400 ON KEY(13) GOSUB 590 ' right arrow key makes direction clockwise
410 ON KEY(12) GOSUB 610 ' left arrow key makes direction counter-clockwise
420 ON KEY(11) GOSUB 630 ' up arrow makes faster
430 ON KEY(14) GOSUB 670 ' down arrow makes slower
440 '
450 STEP=0
460 OUT DATAPORT, 0

I have tried the assignment with and without the LET keyword, with the same results. I can't see anything wrong with my code.

Thanks.

STEP is a reserved GWBasic keyword. Change the name to something else, like MYSTEP or something.
