I'm trying to do some highlighting of messages coming out of REXX. The first test message works properly, part of the message is highlighted and part of the message is not. The second test message gets highlighted, but after that everything is highlighted. If I change the "Say lo' '" on line 19 to a "Say lo'-'" the highlighting is turned off. What am I missing?
