What I'm currently doing is creating a RichSyntax control with most of the 
features of a RichEdit, but a few other things added like bookmarks and text 
folding. Also, it seems to me that the control should take care of most tasks 
related to text editing, like selection handling etc.
I had to start from scratch to get these results, so that there has been a lot 
of develpment and there's a lot of testing to perform.
There is an issue with using win32lib 0.60.6 undocumented custom control 
support, as quite a few commands likely to be sent to the control won't work, 
because they are coded so as to fail on stuff that's not a RichEdit, even 
though it acts as a RichEdit.
I expect to reach an alpha stage by the end of the month; testing is quite a 
tedious process, and there's a awful lot of it to perform.

After that, I'll modify my forked Visual Euphoria code to work with that 
control. I didn't see spent_memory a lot these days, and I don't know if he's 
still developing it. I'll decide how to release that code later.
