I don't know how they actually implemented it. Actually, I would think each colour code is one object, and a paramater/flag in the index file, at the index item for this message, points to that object. If so, it could be set from the editor by way of menu item as easily as a filter can set it. I fail to see what you mean, maybe I am not thinking complicated enough. ;-) However, we both cannot answer this question, we can only speculate how the colour coding scheme is implemented "behind the scenes". If you can get inside knowledge, I'd be interested to discuss this further, by PM or on TBOT (or need I subscribe to TBTECH?).

I stick with that, thinking aloud for other features we would like, starting with the ones easiest to implement. ;-) -- Cheers, Thomas. Moderator der deutschen The Bat! Beginner Liste.
