Hi all, 

I'm not a new user but this is a fairly basic question: which file are the 
syntactical hilighting rules kept in?  I want to take the colours I'm using 
on one PC and put them on another so that I don't have to go through the 
process of difining them individually all over again.  

Really enjoying getting back to POV, and am working fairly slowly but 
steadily on quite a big project, hopefully be finished within a year or so.   
I don't really have much time at the moment for POVing but all that should 
change in a couple of months. 

Cheers
Steve

It probably isn't possible to do what you describe in Windows. Your e-mail hints
that you're more familiar with Linux..? This is probably only available with
third party Linux editors. In Windows the rendering executable and editor is
one and the same and the highlighting is handled by an external DLL (CodeMax).

Your cunning plain is no more. -Sorry!

I feared as much from what I read in the docs, thanks for the reply.
