Good point about the proportional fonts.

BTW: the code in TRUNK already has include like functionality. If you call
an oword that hasn't been defined in the current file, it looks for a file
named oNNNN and starts reading that, looking for the oword.

I just got tired of copying the same code into multiple files.

That would definitely be helpful.  Another idea: compilers sometimes
output errors in a format like

filename:79:8: Bad character

where filename is the gcode file (think ahead to when we might have
includes), 79 is the line number and 8 is the column.

If you would do that, you could leave it up to the GUI to present it.
It could make the bad character bold, or red, for instance.

This seems a lot more foolproof than using whitespace to point to the
error and then trying to preserve that through GUIs that may or may
not be using proportional fonts.

I see no fundamental reason why AXIS and the other GUIs couldn't be
made to present a better error.   It would take some effort on each
GUI of course.
