OK, I got that to work for myself but it ONLY works if I use the LEFT-ALT
key!

I did not know that the editor's syntax highlighting could be set for
different languages.  I wonder why they included this feature?  I guess
it's handy if you use a lot of command-line compilers/tools and POV's
editor is your favorite.

I too have noticed that when I create a new file there is often no
highlighting and I usually have to close and reopen it.  Thanks for the
tip.
