I use Notepad++ and have the same issue. I believe what's happening is that ' is acting as an escape character for ". Hence Notepad++ doesn't recognize that the quote is being closed. As an (unsatisfactory) workaround, I usually just add *" to the following line. This returns the syntax highlighting to normal.

>Hi All,
When using an external text edit program with the stata commands loaded I
find that any loop in the file does not seem to "close," such that syntax
is incorrectly highlighted from the loop forward. Is this something wrong
with the code here:
foreach var of varlist x1 x2 x3 {
capture rename `var' `=lower("`var'")'
}
It runs fine in Stata but seems to cause a problem with syntax
highlighting, where everything to follow is treated as a comment.
Thanks for any help with this,
Derek
