If you want a really nice Lua code editor to work on external Lua files, try out:

QDE (http://www.quotixsoftware.com/qde_index.htm)

It lets you create projects of Lua files, has code parsing, function/control startement collapsing, and much more. A great way to work on Lua files outside of the IR products.

You can even use it to compile your lua scripts into binary files that can be loaded and run with Application.RunScriptFile, etc.

Cool... thanks, Brett. Now, if you can only get them to use SUF for their installer... :D

I looked briefly into this application a ways back. It seemed like a nice little gem-of-an app.

:yes

Check out http://www.editplus.com/others.html. Two Lua syntax files are available; very nice.

Thanks Corey for telling me about EditPlus (Speedy Training CDs). There are a lot of great editors out there, but I find EditPlus to be one of the supreme ones. When I translated the language files in the I.R. products (xml), it was a great feature to just press Ctrl-Shift-P to remove the XML tags; copy and paste into MS Word to run the spell checker.
