The function trim_tail can replace the entire function "delete_trailing_white". The function to_number can replace the entire function "numeric"

-- this entire function: 
function delete_trailing_white(sequence name)                                                        
    -- get rid of blanks, tabs, newlines at end of string                                            
    while length(name) > 0 do                                                                        
        if find(name[length(name)], "\n\r\t ") then                                                  
            name = name[1..length(name)-1]                                                           
        else                                                                                         
            exit                                                                                     
        end if

    return name                                                                                      
end function 
-- can be replaced by using: 
trim_tail(sequence name, "\t\r\n ")  -- requires include std/text.e 
-- in each instance that delete_trailing_white(sequence name) is called

Be careful. I know there has been some modification of ed.ex in the euphoria repo aside from KDR's stuff. In particular, I know I worked on the multi-line syntax highlighting. I don't know if he's been pulling those changes into his code.

I have been trying to "pull" the multi-line syntax code changes into my edx.ex code, but it appears a good bit more editing in the latest ed.ex/edx.ex, keywords.e, syncolor.e, and tokenize.e files will be required, just to add color support for a "library" category in addition to the "keywords" and "builtins" categories.

_tom, the error in the line positioning code was mine - sorry about that. The get_err_line code posted above works correctly.

I believe by tomorrow, or the next day, I should have the editor rebuilt, or at least have learned enough to ask the right questions for help.
