NEdit = Super Edit

Somewhere along the line, they upgraded to full regex support I believe. The backreference thing didn't work well for me, but anyway. Here are the things I've added (though the menus, but you can cut&paste) to get syntax highlighting with Autohotkey code. A true software type might do a much better job at this.

In each section (denoted by nedit.whatever - shown here just as a label - don't add this line) add the lines given

nedit.highlightPatterns: Ada:Default\n\
