To make sure I understand you (or the reverse); I’m suggesting that for a 
correctly covered program, the resulting program would be colored in the same 
way that it currently is for a correctly colored program (which AFAICT is the 
same as the coloring before the program is run), and that a line would be added 
to the interactions window. This seems like it would be less work and less 
potentially irritating than a recurring (albeit disable-able) dialog, though of 
course by the same token it probably makes it somewhat more likely that 
students will miss it.

Once again, this is not a major problem for my students, and I don’t think it 
costs my students much sleep. (Honestly, pixel-level whizzy scrolling would be 
a much bigger deal for them.)

(obconfusion explanation: When you say “showing everything colored,” I’m not 
sure whether you mean (a) everything colored as it currently is, (b) everything 
in orange with black highlighting, or (c) everything in black.)
