SUMMARY
Using the 2010 10-06 version...
.rb ruby files are highlighted incorrectly. It seems that it thinks that after the 127 is a heredoc ... although heredocs are supposed to have a "-" sing like this:
... <<-name_unique
heredoc stuff
name_unique

... also, I am using a number. If I put a space between the "<<"
 and the number things start working.

It is just the coloring that is wrong. Here is an example:

def pre_thing
    variable_one  = 0
    #Other variables here...

    data = (mark<<127 | paul <<124 | thing_two<<0 | thing_three<<116 | thing_four<<96 | plane)
    variable_prog(:yelp, variable_one, data1, data_two)

    write_record(:yelp, "#{ENV['ENV_VAR']}/file/file_name/write_funct", 200, 0)
    enable(:yelp, 1, 0)
  end

  def run
    start(:yelp, 0)
    common_run
    #@sim.sleep(sleep_again('Sleep') || '10')
  end
end
#but:
127
#Now the color is good!
           Now the color is good!



STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Fix ruby heredoc coloring bug as described above
2. 
3. 

OBSERVED RESULT

Almost everything turns green after the "127" from the example above.
EXPECTED RESULT
The colors to be maintained.
