By default, the syntax hilighting is disabled (because it eats memory and processor power, which may be annoying on the less powerful QDOS systems). You can enable it by adding the HILITE global mode, either at run time (go into the Var./Modes menu, select the "HILITE" button, then click on "Add a global mode"), or at startup time, by adding the following line into your uelocal_rc file: add-global-mode "HILITE" Then, each new file you will load into MicroEMACS will be hilighted according to its extension name (SBASIC for _bas, _sbas and _ssb, C for _c and _h, ASSEMBLER for _asm and _s, MACRO for _rc and _cmd, HTLM for _htm and _html). There is also a CUSTOM hilighting mode using hooks to your own hilighting routines (to be written in MicroEMACS macro language). You may also force the hilighting for a given file, if its extension is not matching one of the above. For example, you may force SBASIC hilighting after having loaded the win1_boot file: again with the Var./Modes menu, select "Set a variable value", choose the "$syntax" variable and enter "SBASIC"... Of course, all the above is explained in the MicroEMACS help file ;-) QDOS/SMS forever ! Thierry Godefroy.
