Hi all,
  I was thinking about hiliting too, although it was not a BOL type
comment.  Anyway, ( Hey Sammy! ) would it be practical and prudent
to build a Regular Expression parser into the syntax hiliting?
Issues:
  1. Would it be too bulky?
  2. Would it be too slow?
  3. Would it take way too long?
  4. The code's already written to parse regexs.
  5. It would make synhi MUCH more flexible
  6. It would cover ALL combinations or special cases.
Whatcha think, guys?  Can you do it and do you think it's worth the
extra effort/time?
Non-SemWare programmer types -- do you think there would be a big
demand for such a feature?
BTW, it works great as is and "you done good".
  Jim
