Hi,

Thanks for taking the time to develop this great program. It makes my life
a lot easier. :)

I code in Forth (currently RevaForth) and was wondering if some
functionality could be added or changed for its naming conventions (I
would say syntax, but there isn't much). The most pressing issues are:

1) The symbol and string highlighter seems to override the keyword
highlighter. Fro example, Forth naming conventions suggest the use of
""<word>" when operating on strings, and "[<word>]" when you want to
compile only at runtime. Unfortunately, even if you put "[]*!"+<>" or
any other symbol in the "Allowed chars in keywords" field, it will
ignore it if the symbol prepends the word.

2) RevaForth uses the pipe "|" for end of line comments, and brackets (
) for inline comments. The latter doesn't seem to work, as even if I put
the brackets in the "Comment:" field, it is ignored.

I would recommend an option in Program Settings that allows the user to
change what highlighters have priority.

3) When I include words in the keywords 2 and 3 sections of the syntax
.ini file, or add them with the User Highlighter, they don't display if
prepended with the "[" symbol.
