As a newcomer to GCBasic, I have followed the download instructions provided on the website. However, Crimson Editor is doing something odd and it's very likely that I haven't done something quite right.
When I set the syntax type to GCBASIC in tools, config, it doesn't stick. That is, if I exit Crimson Editor and relaunch, the syntax type changes back to a default.
Also, when I open a demo program (Light Logger.txt), i see no colors related to syntax. The active line is highlighted in yellow but that's about it. I did follow the instruction that says "document - syntax - GCBASIC".
Thanks for any assistance you can offer.

Adnan

Crimson Editor doesn't look far enough on auto startup mode to identify the GCBasic syntax. So need to open up the LINK folder, copy an extension file, paste the lines noted below, and rename it extension.gcb.
You will have to add the .gcb extension to your files, in order to get syntax highlighting upon startup. Otherwise, you must be satisfied with the using the Document/Syntax Type/GCBasic for each file/editor session.
