You may have the version of RubyWin that comes with the big Ruby 1.6.4 download which contains an old version of SciLexer.dll without Ruby lexer support. Grab a recent copy of SciLexer.DLL from the RubyWin download or from the SciTE binary download: http://www.scintilla.org/wscite140.zip and place this in the same directory as RubyWin. Neil
