Hi all,

I've noticed that in addition to the 'types' that are listed in the 
FB^3 manual many (some) of the types defined in the Apple Universal 
Headers are recognized and highlighted.

SInt8 for an 8-bit signed integer (FB type Byte, Char)

Most notably the unsigned types are not recognized

UInt8 for an 8-bit unsigned integer (FB type Unsigned Byte, Unsigned Char)

Am I missing something or is there a shorthand for the Unsigned 
types, other than the {x`, x%`, and x&`} designators?

Something as simple as UByte or UChar would do.

One other question, are (Byte, and Char) and (Int, Word, and Short) 
handled any differently or are they just different names for the same 
things?
