I am going to take time going through this methodically.  Lyle sent me build
189 with Scintilla integrated (for Win32) and I am going to work more with
that over the weekend.  I am going to write a simple Fox plugin to start an
FXScintlla window through the FreeRIDE core.  If it all works, I'll be a
happy puppy.
