Whoops. Sorry -- that darn accelerator got stuck. :)

Sure. How about something like the attached patch for a start?
Note, I've also included my patterns for Ruby's "RDoc" doc markup
which, although will erroneously syntax highlight the occasional source
code snippet (because of fancy rules based on indentation of previous
lines), otherwise works well and would likely be considered better than
nothing. Also added a heredoc regex for the Ruby pats. Also noticed
that the sh comments were set to yellow, which seemed kinda' odd to
me, so I set it to cyan (though I see folks often use brightblue
for comments too).

Also, please let me know if I'm submitting patches correctly.

Thanks,
---John
