>(workaround: use Data() member function instead of typecast)
TString has 'operator const char*()' but not 'operator char*()'. Cint
missed this one. I fixed this.

In this case 'cout<<s<<endl:' is taken as a label name. I wasn't checking
validity of label name. I can check for operator chars in label to verify.
But this can't be perfect.
root> s: ### NO ERROR, taken as label
There is no way to detect this error.
