Notepad++ Syntax Highlighting

Here is my UDL file for Notepad++ for all of you that use this tool, or want to use this tool but are too lazy to do this work yourselves 
INSTALL PROCESS:
In Notepad++ you need to go to Language->User Defined Language->Import...
Then you search for the xml file and it will say that you successfully imported the language.
After that pick POLScript language from the dropdown menu at the top and you should be ready to go.
NOTES:
