Did you use the cont-sci-zip file from thre website? There are two files 
in the binary subpath there. It's just scite but with two patches (1) 
the lua-editor interface - this one will be in upcoming scites - and (2) 
a lua lpeg library as part of the main lua instance - i hope that one 
that that will be in stock scite. So, we're using standard built in 
methods (which is more reliable) combined with lpeg lexers (which sort 
of reverted back to what a had in context already before we had them for 
scite). The properties etc files are for those binaries. This also 
permits some future additions (one thing already in place is 
autocompletion of commands).

The lexers that currently ship with context assume these binaries being 
used. I know that there are still some issues. There is some tricky 
synchronization involved which I will sort out in due time (it has to do 
with some to-be-reliable optimizations for huge files); afer all I use 
scite myself so it better work ok.

If you don't see colors, you can always select language from teh pull 
down menu to have a lexing run.
