try modifying your c-mode-hilit. The actual color defns are in the
initialization part of the code...



(setq c-mode-hilit
      '(("/\\*" "\\*/" 6)
	("^[_a-zA-Z][^=\n]*(\\(.*;\\|[^{]*\\)" nil 2) ;; fn decls
	("^#.*" nil 13)
	("^typedef.*" nil 12)
	("^struct.*" nil 12)
	("^enum.*" nil 12)))

That's because they all buttons. If you hilit::unhilit-buffer you can
use the mouse cut and paste. You can hilight it again using
hilit::hilit-buffer.
