Xavier, I really like the index and script lines ruler.  I'm working on windows 2000 with the 2.5 engine 
and the last IDE Metacard provided for it.  Here are some other things I have noticed:  I get an 
execution error every time I enter something in the message box though it seems to finish its task.    
The comments option only shows comments with -- not with #.  When I use the + button in the 
snippets manager, It appears to work correctly the first time in that it creates an empty snippet named 
Untitledafter the selected one.  If I click the + button again before doing anything else, it deletes the 
snippet after the selected one and replaces it without an empty one named Untitled then permanently 
saves that change.  In other words, the deleted snippet is gone for good.  Is there supposed to be a 
variable watcher or just not with the 2.5 engine?
