If you  stop at the app, then _that_ you pay for. You're not however paying
for the language it was written in, which I believe _is_ open source.
However this has nothing to do with disseminating anything relevant either
to the original poster, nor to MacPerl.

Whichever  you call an app that is written in a language of which you can
freely look at the source code and alter it to your hearts content,
(uncompiled source?) for anyone using Alpha having the same problem as the
original poster, it is trivial to solve, or even should you wish to have a
_non_ standard key word colour coded using the MacPerl package, you simply
add it to the database of key words in the config file for that package.
