Re: Re: Re: Never lock $0 inside of a BEGIN block

Maybe it suggests that you should not use the var ;-)

The syntax highlighter built into SciTE gets confused from time to time as well ... but generaly I think I improve the code if I change it to suite SciTE. If the code confused the parser it might as well confuse a programmer. Especialy if he uses something that highlights it wrong.
