  Hmm, I guess a prompt, but incorrect response isn't worth much, is it? As
for you using the V4 of Dev-C++, that possibility didn't even enter my mind.
A quick search through the option reveals only how to change the color of
the comments, not the styles.

  Unless somebody can help you out, it seems your options are to either
leave well enough alone or upgrade. I'd suggest the upgrade. A lot has
happened in the last few months, and latest Dev-C++ 5 Beta (4.9.6.8) is very
stable in my opinion (some of the very latest features have minor quirks,
but nothing serious). It also packs a lot more features (such as the Styles
for various syntax items). About mid-summer, I my opinion was similars to
yours: this product is too buggy to work well, so I stayed with V4. But
after a while, I kept track of the features and improvements, and about 2
months ago, I decided that V5 Beta's potential and features looked too
promising to pass up. So far, I've been very satisfied with the switch.

  However, maybe somebody else can help you where I cannot.

Sincerely,
Brian C. Becker
