#219 EC1 Syntax highlighting wrong

[LesK]

1-It's active within a comment that spans multiple lines
2-It detects certain keywords like 'path' and 'system' within a
comment and makes them red.
3-It gets lost and stops highlighting, when the end-comment string scrolls off the screen.
4-It detects a single-quote within a simple comment and get's confused

Les, please confirm that this error is with the Rexx parser. Also please provide an example of Rexx code that exhibits the reported problems.
Note that due to performance issues, THE does not traverse the complete file to determine where a multi-line comment may start or end if the start or end comment is not being displayed.

I think it's the Rexx parser. 3.3b3 doesn't show the problems.
