[antlr-interest] ANTLRWorks *rocks*!

Thanks, everyone responsible. This is *so* much easier than doing everything manually!

A few things I'd like:

* In the interpreter, I'd like to select just *part* of the entered text, and a rule,
  and parse just that text, rather than stripping the text down to the fragment and
  then having to restore it later,

* When an exception is thrown, highlight the source text last consumed , maybe the rule,
  and auto-scroll to that point in the parse tree,

* Some visual indication when not all the text in the input window has been consumed,

* Syntax highlighting of commented-out text is too dim - barely readable on my screen,

* Better alerting when ANTLR's processing marks a rule as unreachable or otherwise in error.
  I didn't notice the red color or tooltips at first.

Clifford Heath.
