Syntax highlighting doesn't help in the situation of using ':' instead 
of ';'.  What _really_ got me though was the fact that the default 
character size on the screen was reduced to fit a 50-line per screen 
size.  I could never find any way to manually adjust that.  Drove me 
nuts.

I was using Emacs.  Hopefully Rhide will be a bit more accommodating.
