Suggestion for correcting the IDE's script editor

[Chipp Walters]

Hi Bob,

Thanks for your thoughts. As one who used to use the VBscript editor, I 
can offer these observations:

1) Ever since HyperCard first was released, the script editor 
'auto-formatted' the scripts. Users are used to this. In fact, when I 
first started using VBscript, I saw where the code editor didn't do 
this. I know one can manually do it, but it's a lot easier for most of 
us to be able to check our repeat/if then/switch statement by just 
looking to see if they are properly indented. Removing auto-formatting 
is probably something neither RR nor most of the users want. Though it 
may be possible to 'turn it off.'

2) I agree, there are some 'issues' with the way things are 'live 
formatted', but a quick touch of the 'tab' key should autoformat the 
code you're working on. Most of us use the tabkey religiously to help 
formatting.

3) Jerry Daniels script editor 'Constellation' www.daniels-mara.com has 
many of the features you may be looking for. You may contact him 
directly to find out.

best,

Chipp
