| Interesting about your syntax coloring! I've been using TextPad with my
| CncFiles Pro app as an optional editor to Notepad for about 10 years
| now. It supports syntax coloring and so when I started shipping it with
| my app I created my own gcode.syn file so it uses standard machine code
| editor colors for key characters/words/flags. Actually, it's pretty
| much the same as any editor used for writing Basic. Only personal
| preference change I made was to color comments light grey so the
| machine code stood out better!

 I seem to remember an OSS control for syntax
coloring being available at one point. They all
seem to take the same approach, though. By
coloring keywords/comments/strings they can
adapt fairly easily to numerous different languages.

  I wrote my own code because I wanted to color
variables, which are more challenging. I find it very
handy in VBS, especially. As long as I declare the
variable it will be colored and the case matched.
That makes it easy to recognize misspellings. I also
like VB6 for the way it will match case for declared
variables and methods, but VB6 never provided the
option to color variables. It only adjusts the case
of them. It has a color for "identifiers", but that's
meaningless. It includes everything that's not a
string, comment or keyword. So it's really just
"code color".
