I was doing some Applesoft programming last month and ended up writing a
quick program for Windows that displayed a listing from a tokenized or
text version of an Applesoft program with keyword colouring so that I
could refer to it while working on my IIgs.  I got to thinking that it
could be expanded to have all sorts of interesting features like being
able to renumber selections, have named labels, tool tips, variable
cross reference and such.  I also got to thinking it would make a pretty
neat IIgs desktop program that could also have extra features for
dealing with GSoft BASIC as well.

Yet another thing that has been added to my future projects list.  :-)
