You might be better off to use a syntax highlight edit component like http://synedit.sourceforge.net <http://synedit.sourceforge.net/> and write a template to highlight for your syntax.
Hope that helps.

I'm trying to improve the readability of the data by colors. How can I imbed color commands in a concatenated string 'before' I add the line of data to the RichEdit component?

I can do this within the richedit box, but it's messy and any time I change the decode code, I'll have to change the color routines. as well. Much easier to decode and change color at the same time.
