I'm sorry to burst your bubble, but it is still not working.  

When I go (in Firefox 1.0.7) to your example link above, and enter <%= sShow %> in the code view, it looks correct in the code view, and disappears when I switch to html mode. Switch back to code view, and it still looks correct.  So far, all is well.

Switch to Preview mode, however, and you get the behavior I am getting on every output, whether Preview mode is used (or even enabled):  The tag is converted to entities.

This doesn't happen with IE.

lkelly's posted hack function will work, but needs an additional bit to take care of comment tags WITHIN an asp tag, which would of course break it.  I'll try to post that later today, but it would be nice not to have to need it.

Using the newest build of the ASP editor (5.0).

Thanks for such an excellent editor.
