Agreed, I dislike the way that Micro$oft BASICs fool around with your
capitalisation. "Real time" syntax checking can be helpful
though, especially when it is just something silly like leaving out a
closing bracket. I'll have to admit that it often makes me lazy though, I
just keep adding brackets until it stops complaining "Expected )"


The MoonRock IDE (when I get it done) will have this type of syntax
checking as an option. Perhaps capitalisation too, but as an OPTION only!
