I'm not very sure when a multiple code editor can be ready. It may be some time. In the next 0.18.6p release I've added a view of the codebase for user to copy from or just to see the entire code. This might help some but not much. >>The error messages from getOpenFileName and getSaveFileName come from >>win32lib routines.

The problem with getOpenFileName and getSaveFileName is that the Dialog returns the error. I do not do that so I do not have time to attach the ext. >>I'm unclear which files you want highlighted.

Ah. I suppose so. However, if they are not Euphoria files, you would be wasting time waiting for the file to be parsed. >> I've fixed the problem with UnDo and will be distributing IDE 0.18.6p in >>a few days. >Thanks. >> I will make the other changes you have requested for 0.18.6p. >Thanksa gain. >>Thanks for reporting these problems. >>Since 0.19.0 may take longer than the normal 2-3 month turn-around, >>expect >>several updates within a week or two time frame until all reported bugs >>(that I know how to fix) are removed.
