Figure 3.4: The Split Edit Pane
Feature displaying the beginning
and end of a long program at the
same time.
Within the edit pane, BASIC Stamp source code files are displayed with
syntax highlighting. Syntax Highlighting applies designated colors and
character case (upper, lower, capitalized) to reserved words in the PBASIC
language . This happens automatically as you type. Table 3.1 shows the
default syntax highlighting settings for each syntax element.
If you copy and paste a program into a blank edit pane, select Run
Syntax Check or click on the toolbar checkmark icon to activate the syntax
highlighting in that file. The syntax highlighting settings can be changed
or customized via the Preferences Editor Appearance tab; for details see
the Setting Preferences section which begins on page 55. Source code can
be printed to paper with the active syntax highlighting (and in color if
using a color printer).

NOTE: a complete list of reserved words
can be found in Appendix B.
