Wow.

Ok, this is pretty cool. There's been some talk about writing a program that does syntax highlighting and stuff, but now there's no need to.

UltraEdit has syntax highlighting for PBasic code, and it's basically a full-fledged mini-IDE. Project support and all. What's cool, however is the ability to execute an arbitrary command on the current file open in the editor. I've configured a tool that will automatically compile and download the file being edited to the stamp.

Attached is a screenshot if you're interested, of syntax highlighting working after downloading the code to the stamp.

Finally, does anyone know if it's possible to get slightly better messages from the command-line download process? UltraEdit has the intelligence to automatically take you to lines with errors on them, if it sees text like "Error on line 52"
