I have uploaded an upgraded Geany support file, as well as the latest version of EuHelp, to the RDS user contributions page: http://www.rapideuphoria.com/contrib.htm. ( Keep an eye on the page, it should show up there soon! )
What do I do with the help files you provided?
Also, what do I do with filetypes.lua? Do I completely replace the current filetypes.lua file with yours, or add/append yours to the current filetypes.lua?
If you like GUI editors, you'll love Geany! It is configurable seven ways to sundown and provides an IDE, projects, programmable "code snippets": http://openeuphoria.org/forum/m/116804.wc, Context Sensitive Help for Euphoria 4.1, and much, much more. You can even select auto-complete for "symbols" - functions, procedures, constants, etc., defined earlier in the current document, and/or in any document currently open!
Sounds awesome! But I smirked when its "Open File" dialog couldn't follow a short cut link on my desktop. tsk tsk. 
I dare say that Geany is available in your favorite Linux Distro's package management system, but you can also download and compile yourself from: http://www.geany.org/Download/Releases, where Windows users can also find a version of Geany for their platform.
Thank you! I've been looking for a replacement for Crimson Editor... It's showing its age. 
EDIT: Oops. Just read the description. "Docs in file." I'll be back?!
