    I want to define syntax highlighting for a language. How to do this ? There is a document about a dialog that you can use to define your language. But how do I get that dialog ?

      Never mind. I finally found that dialog. It's under the menu "View", choose for "User Define Dialog..."

      Very annoying that the documentation does not state this !

      I have to second that, finding "User Define Dialog..." should not be a hunt and provided in the documentation!

      There's a faster way to open that dialog: you can use the icon that is in the icon bar on the top. The icon looks like a yellow lightning in front of a window. It should be just below the "Window" menu. Anyway, if you pass your mouse over those icons, you get a quick description for each of them.

      You still have to hunt for the button.  A better location for the user define dialog in the menus would be in Settings.

        I agree. Every time I look for the dialog I start with the Settings menu (and I *never* start with the toolbar, since this is an obviously rarely used dialog).
