   I have made changes to an existing scheme and saved it into another file. When I open a file that uses this new scheme, the colors and font styles for most keywords are working. However, I have added some new keyword types and put keywords in the types, set coloring for the new types. They show up quite nicely in the Options>Style>Schemes dialog. PN2 even recognizes the file type. But, in coding the keywords are not being colored as expected. Can anyone elighten me on this scheme coloring thing?

   Hi, with built-in schemes this depends on which lexer they are using. Many lexers only support the existing configured keyword sets (so just adding extra ones won't work - the lexer must be changed).

   I pretty sure I have changed the lexer properly:

   Hi, the lexer I'm referring to is code built in to Scintilla (the editing component for PN) which understands the SQL language (the lexer referred to by the <lexer> line).

   I've added an RFE for PN to add more keyword styles for the SQL lexer.

   Thank you very much, sir! I am guessing that is a coding change. Nothing I can fix on the fly, eh?
