What you describe is called 'syntax highlighting'.

There are some editors that let you run R and provide syntax highlighting 
and other nifty features.

My first choice is emacs which has a package (aka mode) called ESS. There 
are links on the r-project home page (which for sime reason is timing out 
for me right now) to editors including emacs-ESS. Or go to the emacs-ESS 
home page

 	http://stat.ethz.ch/ESS/

or try

 	RSiteSearch("editor")

where you will find links to 'what is the best editor' discussions.

HTH,

Chuck
