Judith,

I *think* in order for a file to get "naturally" colorized as it Streams in,
it has to have been *saved* in some ".rtf" format; but since what's *in* the
Rich Edit control is what would be saved, if it were colorized by Derek's
trick *as it were typed* (similar to what David has happening), then it
would (nearly automatically?) be saved in that format??  Then when it
Streams in, presto, auto color.
