Multiline comments I think we can handle.  We've already got the ability to
match nested parentheses and braces with the correct mate so that when you
tap on one it finds its mate and highlights all the text in between. I think
we can reuse that algorithm to handle nested comment tags. As for ones that
aren't well-formed, I figure we have to let the user be responsible for
doing certain things right! These are programmers, after all!

Yeah, yeah.  What was that you were saying about noise?  ;)

OK, I realize this *should* be out on SourceForge or something, and maybe
I'll get it out there soon.  But I've been doing almost all of the updates
on it, so we haven't suffered much from lack of version control.  Anyway,
the source can be had by joining the OnBoardC Yahoo group and going out to
the Files section in their web site:  http://groups.yahoo.com/group/OnBoardC

Heard a lot about VI and the keyboard/layout ideas sound interesting. Right
now the keyboard support is basically what's provided by the drivers in the
PPK (or whatever kb you're using) so this is fertile ground for cool new
features!  We'd welcome your help!
