Joao, I think there is a difference between syntax hiliting, i.e. coloring
certain commands in certain ways, and hiliting a word or line, as you would
do in any text processor. Gabi apparently is referring to the latter.

Gabi,
from - help whatsnew10to11-
6. The Do-file Editor under Windows is all new, too. Syntax
highlighting and code folding are provided.
Only in Stata 11 that the sintax highlight, not in Stata 10.
HTH,
