I'll raise to 6 (or is it 13 now?)

As Robert says, I don't use colorized scripts in MC.  But I do use it 
for HTML.  I don't recall why I chose not to colorize MC scripts.  I 
tried it both ways.  I think there was a speed issue when I tried it? 
Or maybe I thought it would add to memory usage which is a big issue 
with me?  I don't recall.  It's been a long while since I even gave 
it thought.

I know that keeping the memory usage as low as possible is a huge 
issue with me.  That's why I liked the MC IDE over the Revolution 
IDE.  My projects hog enough RAM, I don't need a competing compiler. 
Speed is a biggie, too.  If anything with the compiler slows me down, 
I ditch it.  I like it lean and mean.

Now my fella... he's just the opposite... not lean or mean at all :-) 
He's the biggest sweetiePie of all!

Hmm... it is a puzzler why chose not to colorize my scripts.  All of 
the above is just guessing... the memory, it fails me!
