I hate to respond to my own post, but apparently when I load a Ruby file into SciTE, it does a pretty good first pass at colorizing. Exploring around a bit, I see a Tools>Use Lexer menu option. There I see that the Lexer chosen is "none". When I switch the lexer to "Python", some colorization goes away, primarily END statements.... Hm. If I then switch the lexer back to "none", *all* colorization goes away (even though that was the Lexer chosen when I opened and things looked pretty good. Now to find out which lexer is *really* being opened with Ruby.... Later, Guerry -- G.
