While the syntax checker is certainly correct, you might want to think about making it more user friendlier. Messages like 'syntax error' are not always the most helpful. I am pretty sure that the software could give some suggestions to the user on what the cause of the error might be. Your log files can help you understand what the most common errors are and by what they are caused. Just a suggestion :-), David K. ---
