I'm in the process of adding caret support to wxEuphoria. From there, I'll
hopefully mock up my own editor component. I may try to use Pete's Edita as an
overall model, since his editor is written from scratch in ARWEN.

I'd prefer not to limit wxEditor to Euphoria. If I've got my own control layed
out, I could easily adapt it to any type of syntax highlighting.
