colorized scripts

[Jacques Hausser]

Thanks, Peter,

As I'm checking version 7.10 DP, your solution is not working... I rummaged into the "revNewScriptEditor" stack and found that "revSEColorize" doesn't exist anymore (or it's hidden somewhere else).
But it's even simpler! here the script of my button:

on mouseUp
   put the script of button "TestButton" into fld "FScript"
   _internal script colorize char 1 to (the number of chars of field "FScript") of field "FScript"
end mouseUp

... works perfectly ! (although I strictly don't know what an "_internal script" is). I guess it is not usable on a standalone.
