I'm new to verge and over the course of the last week I've been reading through all the documentation and browsing the forums. Last night I finaly got to the point I felt like I was ready to start playing with some code of my own. I tried downloading TextPad and much to my dismay it refused to download for me. I still don't know what went wrong with that download, but I came up with something different.
I happen to own a copy of Dreamweaver MX 2004 which does syntax highlighting and code hints for just about anything web related. I decided to peak at the config files and see if I could get the same fetures setup for VergeC.
I openned up the config directory and much to my delight I found several directories full of XML files :)
After a bit of poking around I did in fact manage to get both syntax highlighting and code hints working in Dreamweaver. If anyone is interested I posted
directions on how to do it on my site.
