OK, this was my fault, I hate getting a file on windows, that when you
click on it, no good default comes up.
So, it is a text file, and I used .txt. I don't think it is something
that we should change at this point, too
many projects using the other way, and having more than one way is a
pain to maintain. I use emacs
and have no problem with syntax highlighting. There are modes for vim
and emacs that work fine. What
editor are you having trouble with?
