 Hi!

My name is Thomas Huth, and I really enjoy using Geany as my favourite
text editor. It has exactly the features that I need (lightwight,
starting fast, good syntax highlighting, and the "right" editing
behaviour/feeling, ...), so I first would like to say "Thank You!" for
this great editor!

However, there was one thing I was missing: For my work, I often need
to edit Forth files, and Geany did not feature syntax highlighting for
this programming language yet.

So I've spent some time and added syntax highlighting for Forth. Please
have a look at the attached patch, I would be very glad if this could
be incorporated into the official sources. The Scintilla lexer has been
take directly from scintilla.org.

 Regards,
  Thomas
