Hi and welcome to the board.

There are several editors that are kix aware so they will do stuff like highlighting and auto complete (suggest stuff). Some experience users on this board prefer to use stuff like notepad, editpad, editplus, etc... but I'm a big fan of ASE and have been using it for some time now.

Here are some editors you could use.
Kixtarter - KiXtart Script Editor
Admin Script Editor (ASE)


Kix cannot compile the script to an executable by default. You need some help from external apps. ASE (see link above) can create executables but there is also some stuff on the board. Do a search on kix2exe and you'll get loads of hits.

The manual that comes with every download holds all info about the commands and function build into kixtart. If you want to read more you could take a look at Start To Finish Guide To Scripting With Kixtart @ Amazon.
