This is more to SemWare than Jack.  Boxer has a nice function that
highlights changes that you have made in the file that you are editting
until you exit that file that is nice when testing programs in OS/2 as
you can keep the file open while trouble shooting routines and know
exactly what you changed so you can go right back to the erant code and
change it.  This might not be a bad addition to the set up.
