 It is not colorized.

 list-text-properties-at returns:
 "Text property at 2235:  fontified  t"

 Would expect something like:
 "Text properties at 2235:

 face                 font-lock-keyword-face
 fontified            t
 "

 I believe that you are correct, placing the quote
 "cured" that problem.
 Now I have another error message from Xemacs:
 """
 Range must be t or a character: "+-*/.<>=!?$%_&~^:"
 """
 Xemacs appears to not like the last line of the
 'define-derived-mode

 Thank you.
