Hey Gregg,
Check out my post early last night, Re: [REBOL] Re: quality rebol based editor.
Its kind of a hack job, but cool nonetheless. Maybe we can steal some ideas
from each other. I am interested to see how you did that Gregg.
BTW, late last night I think I figured some tricks on how to do a really fast
syntax highlight, though it requires some mean programming. There are a great
number of cheats, but I see the biggest speed gain by only handling color within
the visible area. Who cares about what you cant see? I would expect that you
could remap the color of a whole 80x50 character screen in under 100ms on a
200mhz box. Another cheat that helps alot is to use an incremental remapping
process, running in short durations. Color remapping would have a visible
propagation with this technique, but you would not notice any UI delays.

The contradiction so puzzling to the ordinary way
of thinking comes from the fact that we have to use
language to communicate our inner experience
which in its very nature transcends lingistics.
