Riaan Booysen (author of the Boa IDE) for wxPython
http://sourceforge.net/projects/boa-constructor
wrote a nice STCStyleEditor.py for wxSTC controls last year. It is included
in the wxPython\samples\StyleEditor directory. Since both the shell and
codeEditor are using wxSTC controls it seemed like we should just be able to
use Riaan's editor as is. He even included a config file with a variety of
default style setups, including the classic IDLE look. I added a style that
is pretty close to what Pythonwin does by default as well as a 'mystyles'
style.

I'm very happy to report that the style editor works like a champ. So, I
went ahead and copied the file into the PythonCardPrototype framework
directory. I would have rather just imported it from wxPython, but that
isn't possible given that samples is organized as part of the wxPython
package.

The shell automatically uses the same style as the codeEditor program.

If you're updating from cvs, you should make a copy of 'stc-styles.rc.cfg'
and rename the copy 'stc-styles.user.rc.cfg'. PythonCard will then use the
'stc-styles.user.rc.cfg' file for your styles which you can edit however you
want without impacting anyone else.
