Hi Michael, you will find in the zip file an m file that in the comments gives you instructions on how you could modify the scite source code. The strategy is the same of Python and Lua. Bests Riccardo

Yes, could you please elaborate a little on what exactly SciTE does in case of an error - line-highlighting as in the python example on the SciTE web page? That is exactly what my students would love to have as they seem to be confused by the detailed
text messages octave provides (I'm not saying that they are too extensive - it's just that they seem to confuse beginners).
Thanks,
Michael
