 Yep, that is an attempt to get the syntax-related coloring that is a 
part of WDSC/RDi/RDp that is quite helpful. Another good reason to move 
to the graphical editing environment. And the attempt to do this in SEU 
doesn't usually highlight opcodes as does the WRR environment (that's my 
new acronym for not being able to use just one name!).
