Try the following: Open the "Window Properties" (shortest way is to 
press Alt+Enter), then...

- on the "Language/Tabs" tab, verify that "Language" is set to "POV-Ray";

- on the "Misc" tab, verify that "Color syntax highlighting" is enabled.

(I'm using the POV-Ray 3.7 GUI as a reference here, but AFAIK nothing 
has been changed from 3.6 regarding syntax highlighting.)
