Never mind about the above. I finally got it working. My next problem is 
that nothing is getting highlighted. :( Here's my code:

import wx
from wx import stc
import keyword

class fsCodeEditor(stc.StyledTextCtrl):
    def __init__(self, parent, ID, pos=wx.DefaultPosition, 
size=wx.DefaultSize, style=0):
        stc.StyledTextCtrl.__init__(self, parent, ID, pos, size, style)
        self.SetLexer(stc.STC_LEX_ASM)
        self.SetKeyWords(0, " ".join(keyword.kwlist))
        self.StyleSetSpec(stc.STC_STYLE_DEFAULT, "face:Courier New,size:10")
        self.StyleClearAll()

app = wx.App(0)
frame = fsMainUI(None, -1, "FASM Studio")
ce = fsCodeEditor(frame, -1)
ce.EmptyUndoBuffer()
ce.Colourise(0, -1)
app.MainLoop()

NOTE: There are some classes there that are declared elsewhere. But they 
are too long and have nothing to do with the Code Editor.

Most of that is taken directly from the demo. Any ideas?

Thanks,
David
