Installation Instructions:

After you have downloaded one of these files, extract its contents into the SAMPLES subfolder of your TextPad installation folder. Then there are three basic steps required to set it up:

1. Create the document class.
2. Specify which files are members of that class.
3. Specify which syntax definition file is required.

In TextPad 4.2 and later, this can be done using the "New Document Class" wizard on the "Configure" menu.

In TextPad 4.0 and 4.1 you will need to do this manually (see below).

For example, for Perl files, first create the document class:

1. Close any open documents, even blank ones.
2. From the Configure menu, choose Preferences.
3. Select Document Classes.
4. Click the empty box at the bottom of the list of classes.
5. Type the name "Perl" and press Enter.
6. Click Apply.
7. Click the "+" next to Document Classes.
8. Select the new entry for Perl.
9. Change any properties, such as "Create new files as UNIX", if the defaults are not appropriate.
10. Click Apply.

Next, specify which files are members of this class:

1. Click the empty box at the end of the list of class members.
2. Type "*.pl" and press Enter.
3. Click Apply.

Finally, specify which syntax definition file is required:

1. Click the "+" next to the Perl document class.
2. Select "Syntax".
3. Check "Enable syntax highlighting".
4. From the list of syntax definition files, choose "Perl.syn".
5. Click OK.

Now, open a file with extension ".pl" and it should be syntax highlighted.
