On occassions, I've made a change that breaks the script, and sometimes is 
finding a matching set of code with the loops, if, cases, etc.

In going from the latest released version of the script in 0.33 of g4l with 
3384 lines and 129593 bytes to 2057 lines and 85597 I have generated 
about 30 versions with minor changes in each to make sure that everything 
still works as before. Most of that is using functions to reduce duplicate code, 
and using variables to reduce some code length. 

Script makes use of dialog for most of the screen output.

Have used gedit for the editing so far, but am downloading geany to see if it 
provides more. Gedit has some features that make it nice to work with other 
languages.

Thanks.
