I'm going to mentally group this with a couple of other items
that I've been thinking about for a while:

        * Accept a syntax file name on the command line (and
          bring them up in syntax windows).

        * Accept multiple file names on the command line (and
          open them appropriately).

        * Add a GUI for preferences (e.g. what the SET command
          sets).
