All,

Since I am monitoring the list today because of another topic, let me add
that a configurable source code editor, one that allows you to create a
custom template for an oddball language (HLBL definitely falls into this
category) can be a God send.  I use PSPad but there are plenty of other
alternatives out there.

Editing HLBL with a color coded editor will minimize the type of errors that
sometimes can be very hard to troubleshoot.  

I remember a coworker of mine trying to figure out why a sequence block
wasn't working correctly. He used Wordpad exclusively to edit his HLBL code.
I opened up his source in PSPad and lo and behold, almost his entire source
was color coded as a comment.  He had left out a leading curly bracket for a
comment near the bottom of his source and that wasn't where he was looking
to find the problem.  His code compiled fine but the actual sequence was
significantly neutered.

Russ
