What I am missing is a small part of the syntax highlighting related to variables. Declarations work fine - for example int x = 0 is correctly highlighted. What I can't work out how to do is to highlight declared variables in the rest of the code, for example when I later use x such as x = x+1 Does anyone have any ideas? Ideally I'd like to only highlight those variables I have really declared, not something that just looks like it *might* be a variable, so I can see immediately if I've made a mistake in my coding or typing. -- Gary Please do NOT send me 'courtesy' replies off-list.
