Might be fixable, at least on *nix system. Textadept 5.4 does allow 
running processes in a subshell. I'll have to investigate a bit.

Finding the properties files is pretty easy (/usr/local/share/scite/), 
Not sure where to put the lexers directory, though. I changed 
ScITEGlobal.properties per the instructions. There is no lpeg.properties 
file, nothing I've found (so far) in the global file to enable lpeg 
support. Took a scan of the source code and didn't see anything 
blindingly obvious. I'll keep searching.

I'm on a FreeBSD-9.0 system. Since OSX is based on FreeBSD perhaps it is 
really there but it will take whatever I find out to make it active.

I'll let everyone know what I find. Thanks for the response.
