[lazarus] Syntax Highlighter and Editor

[Curtis White]

That is kind of what I thought too. If nothing else, we might be able to
pull some code out of it and use it. 

I am looking at the parser now. I haven't been able to figure out where the
current parser (scan.pp) determines comments. I want to fix that little bug
where it misses the highlight color of the first comment character after a
non-comment line, but I am having problems figuring out exactly where
that is happening. I think it is happening in the scan.pp unit, but am not
quite sure. I guess I need to figure out how to use the debugger (gdb) :-) 

I think I finally have things under control at work, so now I can start
cranking hard on this again. I have worked over 100 hours this week
at work, so I haven't had time to get much done on the IDE :-(  But I think
that is finally over!!!
