It turns out there is also a handy redemo.py tkinter app in
Python22\Tools\Scripts which lets you play with regular expressions
interactively. I would like to port this to PythonCard, but I'm not sure how
to go about highlighting multiple blocks of text in a single field. I
emailed Robin and Neil to see if they have any ideas, using the HtmlWindow
component would be a fallback solution.
