I am fairly new to linux. I am still on the dark side of the force ( for
many reasons).
Some time ago, A guy 'Jerome' if my memory serves me right, posted a
trip for highlighting keyword for POV with Emacs.
As I don't like the interface of Emacs, I forgot it.
I have been using a software Code commander for editing simple
configuration files. It supports many languages and highlight their
keywords. Is it possible to include POV syntax in the software, and if
so, how?

Thanks

  What's wrong with the interface of emacs?

  Granted, you have to configure quite a lot with cryptic commands to get
it working like typical dos and windows editors, but it's not impossible.

  Tip: Adding the following line to .emacs will enable most of typical
dos/windows editors functionality (specially shift+cursor movement painting,
home/end keys behaviour and so on):

(pc-selection-mode)

  It will work in X. I don't know if it works in the linux console.

Warps suggestion works over here,  there's some other stuff that
you might want to put in your .emacs file (it should go in yout
home directory, there probably isn't one so you'll have to create
it).


Get the syntax highlighting macro for pov here, read the instructions
on the web page. 
http://www.acc.umu.se/~woormie/povray/

;; Semicolon is a comment in Lisp.
;; Gives you the SHIFT+ARROW editing (a la windows).
(pc-selection-mode)

;; Makes it scroll one line at a time instead of half a screen.
(setq scroll-step 1)

;; Stops it from adding new lines when you'r scrolling.
(setq next-line-add-newlines nil)

;; Turns that bloody awful noise off. 
(setq visible-bell t)

;; Puts the column number in the status line (aswell as row number)
(setq column-number-mode t) 

;; Puts the file name in the window title bar, useful for when editing
;; multiple files. 
(setq frame-title-format "%b")


And for doing the rendering you might want to try my Rxvt menu
system (on my website), read the instructions in the .txt file
befre using.

That's exactly what I meant.
