The way nextToken works in lexer, you have to have a rule that accepts
the token before a hash
table is consulted for keywords.

so do in the lexer

CATCH_LITERAL_TOKENS:  ( "connect!" | "whatever_else_i_want!@#") ;

so on...

you HAVE TO HAVE testLiterals=true; for this to work.....


I think nextToken should check the keyword  table after consuming 
until a special token ( such as WS ) is seen. But both Ter and Ric are
pretty busy these days.....
