Yes I now know about font-lock thanks to you and Phillip Lord.  This 
takes care of known document types.  What about making my own 
definitions for colorization?  Is it possible to create my own database 
of keywords and define the color that is used for each?  How does 
font-lock-mode do it?  It would have to have a place where the keywords 
and patterns are defined with what colors they should be.  Where would 
this be located so I can figure out how to do my own definitions?  I 
suspect there is Lisp code involved and I can sort of imagine the Lisp 
code that could do what is needed.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Robert
