Shane I checked in your code and added the loadsource stuff at the bottom of the teditor unit. You will have to change the hard coded path in order to bring up the source editor. The path for loadfromfile has to be fully qualified like /development/lazarus/controls.pp..... In any case the source will display the strngs in the shell window. This should give you a little kick start in the morning.

Yes everyone we have a color source editor working!!!!
