[amibroker] Re: Alternate editor that color-codes the parentheses

Paul,
You can achieve the result you with UltraEdit (also called UED). It's 
available from http://www.ultraedit.com/
You can pair parentheses by setting your cursor on one and it will 
highlight the matching one.
There used to be an .AFL-specific syntax colorizing file for UED in 
the files section but I just checked and didn't see it. If you can't 
find it, I can send it to you. 
I probably use the editor built into AB 70-80% of the time but when 
I'm stuck on a problem it's often easier to find it with the extra 
capabilities in UED.
