Both of those file managers have plug-ins available to them that allow use of the Colorer library, but rather than being used for syntax highlighting, the library is used to distinguish file types, directory types, etc.

Are you sure? I got Far for something to do and the plugin and it was highlighting pas files (in edit, not view).

Well. No. I'm not sure. I'm wrong actually (the underlined part above is where I went wrong ... the most important part). I actually built and installed Colorer for Midnight Commander on my Arch Linux installation some time ago ... I guess so long ago I forgot why I built and installed it.

Anyway, I downloaded FAR Manager to see how it would work. After modifying some code to get things right (especially modifying RGB colors to work in console), everything seems to work including matching pairs and even the Outliner. Screen shots posted.

I'll get the jEdit file up anyway later on today/tonight/early tomorrow morning, but I already noticed a problem when I reviewed the screen shot I posted ... text following a '#' that was actually part of the Proxo code was highlighted as a comment. That shouldn't be difficult to fix.

Hopefully, I can set some time aside within the week to finish documenting the Colorer-Take5 (Eclipse / FAR / MC) version and get a set of instructions drafted for installation and modifying the colors.
