You obviously saved your script as *.wdl file instead of a *.c-file. *.wdl is C-Script, *.c is Lite-C, so you have to save it as *.c-file if you want to use Lite-C.
Errors in your script:
#include <achnex.h>
var tops_score = 0;
var bottoms_score = 0;
BMAP* left_border = "border_left.bmp" // asterisk and semicolon missing
PANEL* border_left = // asterisk
{
pos_x = 0;
pos_y = 0;
layer = 1;
bmap = left_border; //semicolon
flags = VISIBLE; //semicolon
}
function main()
{
screen_color.blue = 150;
}
