It's up to you to have a look at my ASM-TSR for keyword highlighting.

?? - POSTIT creates PowerBASIC source programs! It should be easy 
to edit 6 parts of a source into one final source file, then to load 
it into the IDE of PB 3.x and to press F9 - or not??

Is there a place here in Germany (or Europe) to download YOUR IDE 
to have a look at it?
If not: As you may know, we have a very strong scenary of 
PowerBASIC programmers here in Germany. One of the top specialist 
is THOMAS GOHEL (he issues the PBFAQ, and there is an English 
version of it, too). Thomas is running his own Fido BBS now:
      PBSOUND Headquarter, Berlin, 2:2410/330
and has a well sorted PowerBASIC file base with top programs, many 
of them including the complete sources.
(You will find there under PQSYNTAX.ZIP a version of my 
highlighting-TSR with all sources, too. And it includes 2 source 
versions: first the very fast ASM/C-solution and then an approach 
to do the same job as a 100% PB-TSR!).
Best would be if you could arrange to upload YOUR IDE into the BBS 
of Thomas Gohel. Me and surely Michael Renzman, too, (who is also 
working on a "better IDE" subject), would then have a look at it 
and report our impressions back to you.
Ciao
