   Good to see SciTE included in your distribution. One small point on the
included ruby.properties file. The primitive conditional feature within
SciTE properties files uses indentation to indicate the lines subordinate to
the condition, in a similar manner to Python. So there is no effect to the
condition in

if PLAT_GTK
command.go.*.rb=ruby $(FileNameExt)

   This doesn't cause any effect because the command.go value for
GTK/X/Linux is the same as for Windows but it is best to have the conditions
there in case properties files are swapped and merged between platforms. If
I was writing an installer that knows where the ProgrammingRuby.chm file is
located and modifies the ruby.properties file to point to it, I'd also be
tempted to point the go command at the particular copy of Ruby being
installed for those people who have multiple versions installed. You could
also consider using relative paths

command.help.*.rb=$(CurrentWord)!$(SciteDefaultHome)\..\ProgrammingRuby.chm
