Re: OS X text editor - recommendations?

[Asko Kauppi <asko.kauppi@...>]

Your tip on Hydra was a brilliant one! It seems highly enjoyable even 
as a traditional 'personal' editor without the groupware aspects. 
Actually, i find it cool to be able to see (highlighted) any bits i've 
edited.. Nice feature other editors could adopt.

On your syntax template, it seems okay except for that text string 
('blah' or "blah") within one-line comments are not with comment color.

Thanks!
