Confirmed, including the difference between HILITE REXX and HILITE AUTO. Everything following the % character that is not inside quotes is changed to blue, inside quotes stays bright white as in normal hilite mode.
Looks to me like the HILITE AUTO scan mode doesn't account for the 8-digit line number very well. Notice that with HILITE AUTO, leading keywords in column 9 are NOT highlighted, while with HILITE REXX they *are* highlighted. z/OS 1.8 here.
