Hi Doug,
I'm not disparaging your editor - really I'm not. If the compile is
switch settable and that's the desired behavior, then that's great. I
know you've put lots of blood, sweat and tears into it, and have a
mighty fine product. You can be justifiably proud of it. Besides, nobody
wants to be told their baby is ugly, even if it is (I'm not saying yours
is, that's just a saying). The main reason I won't change is because I
use my own editor which started life 27 years ago. It does everything I
want it to, and if I need something new, I just add it. Heck, it can
even make coffee!
Now before anyone starts flaming me for being a dinosaur, I freely admit
to being that, and an opinionated, crusty curmudgeon. It's not true what
they say about old dogs and new tricks, though. I'm constantly learning
new things, and if they make me a better developer, I adopt them. If
they don't, I leave them for someone else.
Even though most of my work lately is supporting D3, I do my coding in
Jbase and move it to D3. They are quite compatible, and the Jbase
compiler is pretty good at telling you what the problem really is. I
have spent many years programming in Universe and Unidata, and would
happily do it again.

Hi Charlie:
You can toggle the behavior off and on with a right mouse click. I find
that my programming style after 27 plus years as UniBasic programmer has
changed. For example I would normally type:
BEGIN CASE
CASE WHATEVER
Now I type this first:
BEGIN CASE
END CASE
This is something I do when I code in Java or JavaScript as well because the
Eclipsed based editors I use make me finish the syntax. I think you will
find that you code is much better because the compiler is always telling me
what I've left off.
It is unfortunate you won't change because I think you will find XLr8Editor
on Eclipse the makes coding more enjoyable, easier, efficient, and produces
better quality. And the irony of this situation is the code is still be
created by you.

Doug,
I certainly hope this behavior can be turned off. It would piss me off
mightily to have my editor constantly tapping me on the shoulder and telling
me that my unfinished program wouldn't compile. I frequently stop to think
while I am coding, sometimes for several minutes. My editor compiles and
catalogs on command, not whenever it wants to. I for one do not want that to
change.
BTW, Doug, you've posted here before - you should already know to put [AD]
in the subject.
