Thats great, thanks a lot, I knew i was being a bit lazy asking
directly without checking first there, but carpe diem... and all that..
One thing though is i think a background highlighting effect would
be nice, like if it was in notepad++ and you wrote some bash stuff:
a statement like: var=${#fNames[*]} would have a light colour to the
text background in the curly braces.
Like i say, i am not directly checking up on this right now, apologies!
I just assume FLTK will easily support this type of thing also.
The only other thing i would say is my initial idea, and certainly for
simplicity is to not allow writing. Would i be better to start code
with a widget other than text editor in this case?
