Actually, in my case it's always so.

The only way to get syntax highlighting to kick in automatically is if I 
open a saved file.  So what I usually end up doing is to create a new 
file, save it, close it, and load it.  I've tried various combinations 
of different actions, but this works 100% every time, and nothing else 
seems to ever work.

Chris: Since you've never been able to replicate this, it might have 
something to do with the tools you use to develop POV with (ie, maybe I 
have an out of date DLL somewhere, or something along those lines).
