Nice work, Pete!

> Coloured syntax and other wishes

There are only two ways I can think of handling the colored syntax. The =
first is a horrible kludge: write the colored text on top of the text =
displayed in the MLE by trapping events sent to it, and writing over it =
after it changes.

The only advantage it has is that it's not the second approach: writing =
your own text editor. If you have the Petzold book, take a look at the =
TYPER program in Chapter 5. It's a very rudimentary text editor. I'm not =
sure how to specify text colour, though.

You should be able to combine that with Robert's SYNCOLOR.E routine to =
get the appropriate syntax coloring.

I'm going to take a stab at a Win32 editor with the requested features, =
but probably not this month. :)
