When working to define a language via a macro language definition, we are encouraged to use
cload() to load a specific lexer to accompany our specification.
cload() without a filename yields a dialog box titled
"Open Color Lexer File", but going through the menu options
Tools -> Options -> Languages -> <Language> -> Color Coding -> Import yields a dialog box titled
"Select VLX File".
What's the difference between these, and how do I get the latter in Slick-C code? I have created language definitions and color lexers as per the old tutorial but the lexer only seems to load if I use the options dialog to load it. If I use
cload() the function returns 0 indicating success but the lexer does not get loaded and is not available.
(the "old tutorial" is this one:

Thanks for any help. - Ian.
