Re: Changing comment line color

In furtherance of discussion:

I do not understand how to do the following, but it says it can be done, so there must be a way.

In preferences, LPEX editor, RPG, one can change the foreground color, background color, underline, squiggle, or outline of any defined line style. For instance, one can have all comment lines with a red foreground and a green background, and with a box around it.

Now, right after "Comment" in the list of line styles there is also "Optional comment." I have never heard of an optional comment so I looked it up. Apparently one can also define User Actions, and one can define an "optional comment"??? At that point I ran out of ability to understand what was going on. It appears one can define a new line style, and define, in some detail, how it will appear. Then one just uses that line style and Bob's yer uncle, its available in your coding.

But I do not understand User Actions well enough to go farther. Perhaps others can go farther with this?

I have a set of 3 lines of comments I would like to emphasize by changing
their color from "comment green" to another color, preferably red. The
code is CLLE. Can
anyone tell me if this is possible and if so, how might I go about making
this change?
