Re: Color Coding inconsistencies

I would agree with making "on-error" the same as "select" - more specifically, the same as "monitor" and "endmon" - because, to my way of thinking, "on-error" is a component of a monitor block and does control flow within that construct.

Of course, I can now change that if I want, right?

All statements related to "select" belong to "Free Form Control-Flow"
whereas "on-error" belongs to "Operation". Following your explanation,
"when" and "other" statements should have the same color as "on-error".
Since that is not true, I assume that "on-error" has been accidentally
assigned to "Operation".

I use the same color (red) for "Operation" and "Free Form Control-Flow",
which is just fine for me, now.

I have to admit, I like the color scheme too.

I think it has to do something with op-codes that mark blocks of
callable/sectioned code vs. op-codes that control flow. So, while
"monitor" controls the program and tells it to watch for an error,
"on-error" marks a block of code that will run conditionally.
Subroutines are the same thing. It marks a block of code that are only
ran conditionally (in other words, when called). In both cases the
op-codes themselves really do not "control" logic but mark/tag area
blocks that may or may not be called.

I think that's how they did it, but I agree on-error being a different
color from monitor seems odd, but I guess they are treating it like a
"label". Honestly, I think it could have gone either way.

First let me state, I'm really liking the color coding enhancement

to RPG. Dare I say, love.

That said, I feel that there are either inconsistencies, or I'm

misunderstanding some of the coloring.

On-Error is red, but I think it should be purple. Purple seems to

be for opcodes related to program logic control. That said, I do
like that BegSr & EndSr (which I'd lump in that category) are red.
