Syntax Highlighting
-------------------

   Highlighting of keywords, comments, strings etc. can be accomplished
with `font-lock'.  If you are using `global-font-lock-mode' (on Emacs),
or have `font-lock' turned on in any other buffer in XEmacs, it should
also automatically work in IDLWAVE buffers.  If not, you can enforce it
with the following line in your `.emacs'

     (add-hook 'idlwave-mode-hook 'turn-on-font-lock)

   IDLWAVE supports 3 levels of syntax highlighting.  The variable
`font-lock-maximum-decoration' determines which level is selected.
