Very minor issue.
I've been playing with some .awk scripts and noticed that when I use certain letters (x, s, q, m, n) as variables, there is unwanted highlighting. Apparently, this is because awk uses the same highlighting as perl and those letters are special in perl. Not a big problem because I can always use the other 21 letters as variables or use two letters instead of one.
I'm just passing on the info for those interested.
Steve
