need help with highlighting file

[Claudius@sailer-online.de (Claudius Sailer)]

Hi,

I have a language SQR which I want to highlight. I copied sql.el and
renamed it. I made correct including in .emacs. I deleted everything I
don't need and it works. BUT I have 2 problems. SQR is like SQL not case
sensitiv, but my highlighting only works with small letters. So it is
case sensitive And SQR uses ! for comments. I don't know how
I can activate this correctly. I have only SQL-Comment but I wasn't
unable to make changes that it works.

could I get some help?

thanks

Claudius

some parts of coding without all comments


;;; sqr-mode.el --- specialized comint.el for SQR

;;;; comments are removed for less traffic

;;; Code:

(require 'comint)
;; Need the following to allow GNU Emacs 19 to compile the file.
(require 'regexp-opt)
(require 'custom)



;; Syntax Table

(defvar sqr-mode-syntax-table
  (let ((table (make-syntax-table)))

    (modify-syntax-entry ?/ ". 14" table)
    (modify-syntax-entry ?* ". 23" table)
    ;; double-dash starts comment
    (if (string-match "XEmacs\\|Lucid" emacs-version)
      (modify-syntax-entry ?- ". 56" table)
        (modify-syntax-entry ?- ". 12b" table))
    ;; newline and formfeed end coments
    (modify-syntax-entry ?\n "> b" table)
    (modify-syntax-entry ?\f "> b" table)
    ;; single quotes (') quotes delimit strings
    (modify-syntax-entry ?' "\"" table)
    table)
