Beta 2 IDE
Archiver
Posts: 46,084
I just downloaded the Beta 2, and right off I noticed that "VAR" and "CON"
should be syntax highlighted.
Does the IDE allow another program to run it, "compile", and download and
start running a stamp program? I have used Codewright in the past (a program
editor) for C and Java, and it would be great to be able to use it in
conjunction with Parallax's software. I don't mean to put down the software,
but Codewright has many features that are useful, and is very extensive
(similar to emacs).

until recently I have been using EditPlus. Please keep in mind that our #1
priority has to be on the compilation process and the hardware. We do the best
we can to make a nice IDE, but there will always be someone out there who
specializes in that stuff that will have a more feature-rich environment.
See my Nuts & Volts article "Tool Time" for notes on using an external
editor. Here's the URL to a PDF:

On your specific point about VAR and CON:
* Open Preferences dialog
* Select "Editor Appearance" tab
* Select PBASIC scheme (default)
* Click "Copy Scheme" button and approve (Custom scheme now selected)
* From the "Syntax Element" list select Declarations
* Select new foreground color
