They are not 100% compatible:

- The Editor.Flags[] array has been replaced by one boolean property for 
each flag. TextEditor.ShowLimit, TextEditor.ShowCurrent...

- The Editor.Lines[] array is replaced by the TextEditor[] array.

- Editor.Lines.Count is now TextEditor.Count.

- Folding is not yet implemented.

- TextEditor.Highlight now takes a string ("c","c++","gambas"), not an 
integer constant.

- Selection is now indicated by the SelectionLine and SelectionColumn 
properties. Everything between (SelectionColumn,SelectionLine) and 
(Column,Line) is selected.

- A style has one color only now, not foreground and background anymore.

- Italic has been removed from styles.
