bah, my fault but I wasn't really thinking about the database side of
things. Changing the file format is definately a no-no.

What sparked my interest was making the editor do more work.
Maybe it's because I write code that writes code and having string literals
in a different colour from the source code helps me see.

I did like VB's auto parsing if input code. Highlighting a sections that are
stynax errors etc. must reduce the cycle?

I'm glad I asked here though. Can't think of a better bunch of people to run
it past.
