For those who use UltraEdit-32 for formatting SMCL-based help files,
I'll offer my syntax-highlighting "wordfile". This is a very simple
file that covers the more frequently used commands. I'll presume you
know how to add it to your current wordfile... If not, instructions
are given at:

Writing programs is kind of fun, but writing help files is pure
drudgery. If somebody has written templates that make Textpad or
other programs easier to use when writing help files, I'd love to see
them. I know Statacorp has a long wish list, but anything it could
come up with would be appreciated. I've heard people say that they
didn't bother to put their programs on SSC because they didn't want
to write a help file.
