Just wanted to point out something I played with today. Getting older, my eyes aren't as good as they used to be and I find I am more sensitive to things with them. Anyways, looked around the IDE and menus and came across this. I am sure it will help others like me that are getting older or like to see change time to time :)
You can access this from the IDE from the file menu, editor options. I bumped the font up from 10 to 12, wow what a difference and changed the colors.
Nice to see someone other than me here is old :)
I use the larger font as well - also set all the background/foreground to the higest contrast I can get.
My color vision is shot as well so I do not do red/green too well anymore. Stoped my flying days.
Red, green, white on VASI always looked white to me.
I had to move away from some of the colors as the cursor dissapperared and also you can't set the color for the symbols. So, I will work on it some more. But having those options is nice and does make it a better working environment. There are a few of us oldies on here, we doing good enough :)

Let's not forget the legions of COBOL programmers who were brought out of retirement to help with the Y2K issue.ÂÃ, Ã‚Ã, 8)
If you want different colors or bolds, italics, etc, see my topic "Change IDE Settings". It's probably right below this one right now.
Thanks Parker will look.
Here is the link to your post, thanks will look into it.

The code is posted now, along with the ability to define new keyword sets (or do anything that involves strings).
