Dear,
About upper/lower-case translations.
In both tools kixref and kixstrip we do translations.
kixref show /translate what the result can be after such translation
- macro, string = lowercase
- command = uppercase
- function = combination of upper/lower-case
greetings.

While this maybe "neat" for KiXref, KiXstrip.. What does this have to with this Editor?

R2D2-
Look up a couple posts. The next version already has that issue corrected by matching the macros with a macro list, which is tied with my version compatibility setting so only macros that are valid for the version your on will highlight. Also I think it will be o.k. to have anything following a $ be a variable because I dont highlight things inside quotes. Therefor
$ThisWillHighlight = QUOTE But $4.23 this will not ENDQUOTE
Or a better example would be:
? QUOTE The value of $ThisIsntColored is ENDQUOTE + $ThisIs
I think it will work pretty well this way and any variable you put in will highlight.

I'm always open to suggestions but the reason I have them all in uppercase when you do an insert is because I used the 3.61 and 4.21 Kixtart manuals for all my syntax and I tried to follow it to the letter. Its all in uppercase in the manual so mine is too. If I did play with it I probably would go with mixed case (I blieve thats the term for it) for commands and functions with macros still in uppercase. Programming wise it would be easy to do one and not the other the way the color routine is written. Might be a addition, but its really a nice thing to have and not a issue per se.
As before if anyone has any comments, suggestions, or the like please let me know. I do have a comment though..maybe if the forums don't like your post (the last time I typed all this it said HTML wasnt allowed) it should just show you it again and let you edit it and repost. When I hit the back button my text was all gone. I think Ill select all and copy before this reply....
Allan.

Dear Allen,
Ruud is using in his documentation keywords which contains also lower-case letters.
Only on specific places he is using only uppercase letters. See for example his
examples.
Also in all kind of other documentation you can see the same structure f.e. manual
Using upper- and lowercase letters in keywords makes scripts easier to read.
F.e. CompareFileTimes can you see as a concatenation of three words without spaces.
Allen, for us it isn't necessary. We translate them for identical format by one or
our tools. It was only an idea.
greetings.

MCA-
I've been going by the Adobe format manuals, in which the name and its use are all in uppercase. Oh well, no biggie though.
Lonkero-
Its random, about 1 of every 5 or 6 times when I hit back the infos gone. Not just here, on a lot of sites. Also my mistake was I used a <-- to point out something and it picked up the < as HTML.
Jen-
My color coding ignores the single quotes, which I need to fix so things within arn't coded. That will be next on the list.

I just sent out version 0.9.8 to those that have requested it or are currently hosting my file on thier site. From version 0.9.4 heres some of the important changes:
1. Running a script can besent to its own console (default) or the internal output window. The console is like running it form a command prompt and is much more stable
2. Thing inside single quotes no longer get highlighted, like it was for double quotes.
3. Has the ability to change the case of macros to upper, and command and functions to either mixed case or upper case.
4. Install should put a single shortcut on the desktop instead of its own group. Also readme file is available from the help menu.
The rest of the changes were little bug fixes here and there. Hopefully those that have recieved the file will replace the ones on there site with the new install, it will be called Kixtarter098.msi to indicate the new version. Thanks for all that have emailed/posted. If you find anything else please let me know.
Allan.

Dear Jooel,
Your profile contains the hotmail address. It was very logic, that Andy sends it to this
mail address.
greetings.

Lonkero-
I did send it to your real address, I'll send another copy. Also I think I found space to host so hopefully I'll be editing my original post with a address in the near future.
Allan.

To all-
I found some permenant space to host the file. Please see the original post if you want to download it. The current version is 0.9.8. Heres the known bugs (which have bene corrected in the next revision but not in this one):
1. Fixed a bug during some resizing or minimizing window that was causing a "Run-time Error '380'".
2. Fixed a bug on settings form that prevented the Upper Case option from filling in when form loaded.
3. Kixtart location dialog will look in the current path and the windows directory on startup if Kix32.exe was not previously specified. Also if Kixtart was not specified and a run is attempted it will prompt for the location instead of erroring out.
Anything else let me know about.
Allan
