      Search the articles for Crystal Edit. Should give a good start, if not have what you need already. BW

          If highlighting is the most important thing, why not use ConTEXT (Clickety)? I like it very much, coz you can write your own custom highlighter files :-)

            I was looking at Scintilla[^] the other day. It seems quite promising.
