A favorite hobby of people here in comp.sys.mac.programmer seems to be
making suggestions for improvements to THINK C.  Here are two things I would
like to see: 

1) When doing text selection in the editor, TC should use the user's
selected highlight color on a color monitor (rather than white on black,
yecch!)   This shouldn't be that hard to do; just a matter of adding
	HiliteMode &= ~(1 << hiliteBit);
in a few places.

2) There ought to be a "Cancel" or "Stop Compiling" button on the
compilation dialog.  Many's the time that I've hit propeller-R and THEN
remembered that I needed to update the .rsrc file (for example).  I can't
imagine that this should be hard either (it could finish compiling the
"current file" before it stopped).

So whaddaya say?  In 4.0.3 maybe?  Of course, 2.1 level C++ would be nice
also, but I can wait a little longer for that.
