How do I install and setup the textpad syntax file?
After downloading the file here, extract the contents of the zip file into the “System” sub-folder, found in the directory you originally installed Textpad to. To Set it up: • Open textpad and go to Configure then choose New Document Class. • A window should appear with the text: Document Class Name, and a box beside it. Type in VC and click next. • On the next screen, in the box beside Class Members, type *.vc (without the quotes, so, asterick dot vc), then click next. • On the next screen click the box that says Enable syntax Highlting and then in the dropdown menu look for vc3.syn. Click next. • On the next screen double-check and make sure everything is correct, and then click Finish. You may have to restart the program for it to take affect, however, now whenever you open a .vc file with textpad, you will see a bunch of different colours, which will help you to distinguish the different parts of your code.
