MMEdit version 4+ has changed the way keyword files are handled and is not fully compatible with earlier versions.
The editor is still the same as previously but there are a few changes in the terminal window. This is the area that is going to get the most attention in the future.

Users are urged to try MMEdit V5 instead. It is far superior and is the only version that will receive updates.

The current version is 4.1.4 and V4.0 or later is required for the Colour Maximite 2.
