Brian,

To do this, you must trap each keystroke entering your edit field. 
Whenever there is a change, you need to parse the edit field (or at 
least the line or the word where the cursor is), matching words against 
your key list,  and set or change the style as appropriate.

Here are a selection of FB commands you will likely need to use:
ON EDIT
SETSELECT
  WINDOW(_selstart)
WINDOW(_selend)
EDIT TEXT
EDIT$(fieldId,selStart,selEnd)

hth
  e-e
  =J= a  y
