All you need to do is create a document type for clipper using the
editor options menu and then in this document type define the keywords
for colorizing and in the compiler section just add the command line
that you would use to compile a clipper file. Something like:
clipper $fn
where $fn represents the current file being edited and will be
automatically updated by Zeus. But make sure the compiler is
in the system path (ie the compiler can be run from a stock
standard MS-DOS command line prompt).
Failing that there is also the Zeus online help that has more details
on how to set up the compiler

All the settings are stored against the document type. If you open
a document type, change it and then try to close it without hitting
the apply button Zeus ask if you want to save the changes.

I am not sure what you mean by this? The shareware version is
identical to the release version, except for the shareware nag
screen on startup, and it has no limitations on saving settings.

Yes. If not send me an e-mail.
