I've hung out here a tad. Some projects suggested as a First One
were over my head.

Upon reading more than I should have about folks trying out
Blackbox, I see a "quicky mentality" that says:

"No ASCII is very very irritating."

I cannot yet set up all the Helmut add-ons. They seem to mangle when
two or more are there. But I THINK I can do this:

Make a subsytem that is a text editor.
Make it possible to import-export ASCII text within
Make it show monospace only.
Make it show bold without being broader than conventional fonts, so things still
    line up nicely in monospace (this will require a custom font.)
Make it show strings, comments, keywords, parens, etc. in any dang color you
want. And preserve them across BB invocations.
Make it do search/replace a tad better than the default.
Save preferences on this stuff.
And a few other things.

I intend to rip off every bit of code I can find to do this, and
combine some things
now supplied only as menu iterms. Attributions will be supplied in
documentation.

Should I dood it? (If you doods that you gits a whupping - Looney Tunes).

-Halfie. One good left foot still left, and still thumping.

And... is a font to not spread out Bold, which corrupts monospace font spacing,
going too far? Discuss amongst yourselfs.....
