Hello,

I'm new to POV-Ray... and rest assured that I know how to turn on/off the syntax
highlighting in POV-Ray's editor.

However, the default scenes that are opened (biscuit.pov and wood.pov), and I
use the POV-Ray 3.6c, have syntax highlighting.  I created a new POV file, and
it works. But now, after every single new POV file, syntax highlighting doesn't
work.   Even when it's on.

I'm using Windows Vista, by the way.

May anybody tune in to this issue?

Thank you,

Jason

If you go to the editor properties, Language/Tabs, is the Language set 
to POV-Ray? Sometimes when creating new files, the language stays at 
<none>, even if the file extension is .pov (known issue)
