Re: Latest fix pack

I found a couple other odd things - actually I don't remember visiting 
the Parser Styles section before, so this is a little new to me.

First, I find the use of the word "macro" to be a bit strange - these 
are called directives in the RPG reference. There is absolutely NO 
mention of macros in the reference. Why the change in wording? The CPP 
parser style calls #define a "CPP driective". Sigh!

Now for the example of /TITLE - this is identified as a macro. If you 
put your cursor in the text that follows, it's labeled "Layout Space" - 
what?

I also clicked in the example for compile time array - some of it is 
labeled, in the example, as comments! The double-asterisk is labeled as 
"Data".

There is almost no documentation that I've been able to find as to just 
what all the style elements are - they names, as I mentioned above, do 
not match anything I know from the RPG manuals. Therefore, the help is 
not helpful!

Vern
