Allan,

Thank you for your help !!!  Very much appreciated.

Ahh, the perils of editing syntax files without understanding things 
fully.  I made a colour change to the "HTML (PHP)" syntax file and 
stored it in the AppSupport directory, so it overrode your file, and in 
doing so it created plain black text on white background. : (

I have now spent a good few hours tweaking my colours and have HTML 
with PHP; with CSS; with JS highlighting working just as I want it.

Although time consuming, it has been a very good process to go through, 
and I have learnt a lot about the syntax structure. As a result, I am 
very impressed by the inherent power in the syntax format.


My only concern now - as I have migrated to a dark background - is that 
the cursor is invisible over the edit window. Perhaps something that 
you are already aware of and working on. (Or perhaps is remedied by 
some to me unknown setting).

Kind regards,

Mats
