Lispworks syntax highlighting

I'm inching towards my goal of writing some kind of major mode, or at least syntax highlighting, for Lispworks for Perl and ksh (in which I do most of my work coding). Today I figured out where Lispworks defines the colors and keywords for Lisp mode coloring. Part of the problem was in terminology. Not coming from an Emacs background, I didn't realize that "font lock mode" might have some bearing on the subject. In any case, for those that come behind me (if any), see fontlock.lisp in the editor sources. More exposition/documentation on the subject to come, hopefully (but don't hold your breath :).
