syntax highlighting
I'm having trouble understanding how to adjust syntax highlighting.

How do I define the colors of the following?
1. Parenthesis/brackets.
2. operators
3. functions

Also, in the Properties->Display->Specify Part window, what do the Highlight (1) - (10) values refer to?

Thanks,
chuckf

Re: syntax highlighting
For 1. Parenthesis/brackets, you can specify "Parenthesis/brackets" in the "Specify Part" list in the Display tab of Configuration Properties.

For 2. and 3., operators and functions are defined by one of Highlight (1) - (10). It depends on configuration you use, so you might want to check which Highlight (n) is used from the Highlight (1) tab of configuration properties.

I see "Matched parentheses/brackets" but not "Parentheses/brackets" in the list.

That is not very obvious at all. Can you please update the help to be more clear about those numbers in front of the "words".

Are you saying I need to add the function names to the list of Highlighted Words?

Thanks,

I mean "Matched parentheses/brackets".

If functions names are not listed in the Highlight (1) tab of configuration properties, you might want to add function names that you want to highlight.

Thanks!
