I like lowercase as well. But that preference works for me.

Maybe, for historical reasons[*], all these Workbench Options are coded as "hints" that
can then be ignored?

:o)

(ducking as the IDL v5.4 paper manuals are thrown...)

cheers,

[*] widget sizing keywords, anyone? Like the documentation states: "This keyword is only a
'hint' to the toolkit and may be ignored in some situations."

For all the $@&%$ choices you're given, I have noticed
the Workbench chooses to ignore a surprising number of them.
If someone would just show me how to get four spaces when
I hit the TAB key, I would be happy. :-(

Cheers,

I think Vince is talking about inserting keywords to functions/
procedures. Currently, these do not have a preference to control the
case. But they should.

I'll add this to the list for the next Workbench update.
