It would be interesting if the session manager code which colorizes text within the session were itself written in J. However, since this expression apparently colorizes every displayed line and updates the display every time a character is typed, there might be efficiency constraints. Also, the current mechanism seems to be based solely on characteristics of the raw text. For example, if you configure your system such that adverbs display in green, and type example=:/ then the word 'example' will not be displayed in green. So this proposed change would be a major departure from how the session manager currently works. -- Raul ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm
