I'm using BOXER (Version 6.0a) which is shareware, so you can test it prior
to buying it. Aside from macros, menus, ... it offers the possibitity to be
configured extension-specific. So syntax-highlighting, tab-settings,
word-wrap,... changes automatically for different types of files.

I include a description of it with this mail

BOXER is a remarkably full-featured text editor which has quickly
become the favorite of all types of computer users: programmers and
writers -- power users and novices.  BOXER is the result of a 7-year
effort by a self-proclaimed perfectionist, and the outcome is a highly
polished software program.  Attention to detail is apparent throughout:
BOXER's interface is smooth, intuitive and courteous.  Designed with an
emphasis on flexibility, BOXER can be easily configured to suit most
every user's taste.  New users consistently praise BOXER in the
strongest terms.

A complete feature list would be huge, so here are some of BOXER's most
important capabilities: multi-level Undo and Redo, Color Syntax
Highlighting, multiple files and windows, full mouse support, keyboard
reconfiguration, 28/35/40/43/50 lines for EGA/VGA, column marking,
macros, color, pull-down menus, word processing, and context sensitive
online help.  Also: search with wildcards, compile within the editor,
EMS swap for DOS shell, graphic drawing, auto indent, find mating
parenthetical characters, block commands: cut, copy, append, paste,
delete, write, print, fill, sort, total, average, case convert, invert,
entab, detab, more!  (ASP) Shareware from David R. Hamel $35-50.
