Hola Claudio,
Gracias por toda la informacion sobre las "Funciones", "Palabras
Claves" y "Tipos" de FireBird.

Lo mandare al equipo SynEdit ( http://www.sf.net/project/synedit ) este
fin de semana y eseporo que sera incorporado.

Tambien si alguien puede incorporarme en la lista de desarrolladores de
FireBird, cargare la version de FBConsole que tengo, con un executable.

Saludos,


Dominique Louis.
