Select an item from this list to customize.
Note: Since NetLinx code may be divided into sections (DEFINE_CONSTANT, DEFINE_DEVICE,
DEFINE_TYPE, and DEFINE_VARIABLE), anytime a word is encountered that falls within one of
these sections it is parsed, remembered and then the syntax is highlighted according to the section in
which it occurred. Therefore, if a DEFINE_DEVICE section contains a line that reads "dvTP = 128"
the word dvTP will be remembered as a device and syntax highlighted. Additionally, if the editor
recognizes that you have partially typed the name of the above section variable (for example "dv"), it
will auto-suggest "dvTP". The program will do this all of the items it has encountered in any of the
DEFINE sections.
