Color syntax -- it would have to understand UserRPL,
so it would have to be made for this specific environment,
unless it has a user-specifiable lexical analyzer.
Well, I never knew of one, but I grew up watching
black and white TV, so when I use Notepad (or even
compose in my email or newsgroup reader in plain text mode),
I just imagine the colors :)
Of course, with any HTML editor or word processor (even WritePad),
you can actually have colors, provided you set them yourself :)
Once you transfer programs to the actual calculator,
all you get for syntax clues is just indenting,
which you can also do on your computer.

Whatever editor you finally decide upon, if it has a "copy" function,
you can easily transfer program text to Emu48 --
use either a special version for 49G+ or the plain 49G emulator;
my programs run exactly the same on either, and only the plain
original version happens to allow storing into emulated flash,
so I keep using Emu48, even for my 49G+
If your editor natively uses the same ISO-8859-1 (Latin-1)
character set as the calculator, then no translation is needed,
but I'm happy with the "pure ascii" scheme where \xx is used
to represent each 8-bit character, e.g. \<< R\->B \>>
So I put a couple of little "translate" programs in my emulator
(and even in my real calc, which gets restored from my emulator);
this has the advantage of universal compatibility
with all computers, text email, web and newsgroup postings.
Ascii translation on the calculator (or Emu48) itself:

The 8-bit characters employed in UserRPL programming
are basically just these few:
Num Sym Description
--- --- -----------
128 \<) angle symbol
131 \v/ square root
132 \.S integral symbol
133 \GS Greek Sigma (\GSLIST)
135 \pi pi
136 \.d derivative symbol
137 \<= less or equal
138 \>= greater or equal
139 \=/ unequal
141 \-> right arrow (\->LIST, \-> a b c)
142 \<- left arrow (\<-local)
143 \|v down arrow (\|vMATCH)
144 \|^ up arrow (\|^MATCH)
156 \PI capital pi (\PILIST)
159 \oo infinity
171 \<< program delimiters
187 \>>
092 \\ backslash
Most of these conveniently "look like"
the very characters which they represent;
a few others used in formulas and equations might be:
Greek lower-case: \Ga (alpha), \Gb (beta), etc.
Greek upper-case: \GD (Delta), \GW (Omega), \GS (Sigma)
For any other character, you can use \nnn
with the 3-digit decimal character number,
which you can obtain from the CHARS application in the calc.
