Thanks Jan. The syntax coloring you forwarded works fine in Smultron. Does Smultron support rectangular selections?
Last year I used Smultron quite a bit to test with external editors in R.app and indeed found it a really nice editor. And it also worked fine with AppleScript (to submit a selection or the entire source file to R). The sourceforge version has added several neat features! At some point I integrated the Smultron source into R.app to see how difficult that would be. A simple test turned out fairly easy, but dropped that idea in favor of the current setup in R.app (everybody can pick his/her own favorite editor and open/quit of R and editor are decoupled). Tried to make Smultron multiple window (like the R.app internal editor and SubEthaEdit, a request which at that time had been turned down by Peter). Would indeed require a lot of work (if at all possible). The only other minor feature I find surprising is the difference between Command-Q and clicking the window close button. After your emails I downloaded the latest version and Smultron definitely is a nice editor and the project feature works well/is useful.
