Headslapper: Your grammar can only recognise one statement (with two
possibilities). You were feeding your parser two statements in a row.

A : a | b ;

means A can derive a or A can derive b.

If you want to be able to parse a sequence of
statements try something like:

statements : statements statement | statement ;

as your first rule.

It sounds like you need to do a bit more reading though...

Cheers,
Carl.
