You need to build the smultron (lowercase, command-line utility) target first and then build the Smultron (uppercase, application) target. The reason for this is that smultron (lowercase) is copied into the applicaton bundle of Smultron (uppercase) and thus needs to be compiled. I haven't found a way to "link" their compilation without making copies of the classes. The cursor will get the same colour as the text in the next release. You don't need to recompile to change the definition file. If you open the application bundle you will find all the .plist files in the Resources folder and if you edit this one it will read from it the next time you open a document that uses that definition. Thanks for the kind words! Peter Borg Hi!

I set my background color to black and my cursor is not visible. :( Also I wish they would use the standard indent/outdnet commands cmd-[ cmd-]. One feature that I really miss from the Pepper <a href="http://hekkelman.com/pepper.html" rel="nofollow">http://hekkelman.com/pepper.html</a> days is the comment/uncomment command. Which the plugins could set for comment types etc. I still have to look into this programs extensibility. You say you need to recompile to redefine Definition files? The Modes in SubEthaEdit are amazing and support multiple font types (bold, italics) with the file. Truck on! Well, it appears to have some opportunities.

I have been using subEthaEdit which I like, however, always will to find some alternatives. Cocoa is a must. I am not really into the Java or Python alternatives. Nice one.

What I did was delete the file from the project list of files (will show as red after an attempted Build & Run) - and I also put a full-version of it in the build directory just to be safe. I still can't Build & Run, but I can build... and it compiles the executable just fine. It's a little backwards but it does work. I placed some text in the Prefs panel to test to make sure it was really compiling and it was. Hope this helps. Mike, I wasn’t able to compile because of a barf asking for an executable present.
