Text color in the editor is a personal preference, but I appreciate your blogging about things that people may not have thought of.

However, I feel the need to add some things that affect comments

1. There are several lines that look like:

*-- Some text here ------------------------------------------------------

Adding all the dashes doesn't make it more or less of a comment. It just adds addtional characters that distract and add to the comment problem.

2. Lots of code like:

*-- Create some object -------------------------------------------------
IF SomeCondition
    this.GetSomething(someParameter)
ENDIF

*-- Create some other object -------------------------------------------------
IF SomeOtherCondition
    this.GetSomethingElse(someParameter)
ENDIF

It would be self documenting and not need any comments if it read

SomeObject = MethodCreateSomeObject(someParameter)
SomeOtherObject = MethodCreateSomeOtherObject(someParameter)
