I suppose the mouse cursor will later look like | when it's over the
text area.

Cool, thank you. I was afraid that it's hard to implement, and so I'm
happy now to read that it can be done.

How about using ';' as character for line comments, like e.g. in INI
files?

Very nice! Now I realized that Edita's syntax highliting is powerful,
e.g. it highlights matching braces, using different colors for different
levels. I also saw, that a choice in the Colours window (as well as in
the Fonts window) is immediately applied for preview.
Good job, Pete! If you'll keep such a high quality until Edita is mature,
I'll probably throw ConTEXT out of my Window(s).

I took that info from the "readme.txt" file. The name of the regarding
archive is "Z003.zip".

No problem. I'll keep the files on the server for a while.
