Could we have Colours other then white in LUA for comments, at the moment the script looks all the same. Even the recipe output has two colours.
This could happen automatically after "--" is added to a line.

I agree with mat, even the simplest script editor can do that (and more)

Me, too.
Users, who run a script of another person will find hints faster.

And by the way...
How about line numbers?
If there is an error, you have to count to find the line containing it.

Do away with the editor. Instead save the scripts as lua files in a particular directory. Then invoke whatever editor is assigned to the .lua extension. Use notepad on Windows as the default, and vi or something on Linux. The internal editor is always going to suck compared to editors that already exist. There is a version of Visual Studio that works on lua files.
