    Now why didn't I think of that!?!  I too have been bothered by the 
lowercase bold reserved words, but I never thought about doing anything 
about it.  I applied your patches and I really like the results.  However, 
I wanted to keep the outlining of lexical errors, so I looked a little 
closer at the code around the TextFace trap, and found the following:

	123B 1007	MOVE.B	7(PC,D1.W),D1	; fetch appropriate style
	3F01		MOVE.W	D1,-(A7)	; push it onto the stack
	A888		_TextFace		; call ROM routine
	4E75		RTS			; exit
	00		DC.B	0	; plain
	08		DC.B	8	; outline
	01		DC.B	1	; bold

Using Fedit I simply changed that last 01 byte to 00.  Now the errors are 
still printed in the outline style, but the keywords are plain.

    Thanks for the good idea.
