syntax highlighting for bash, etc...

What is the best way to get bash syntax highlighting with TextPad?

I don't see a specific syntax file for it. I have tried just substituting another syntax file, but that seems pretty lame.

I also googled around for one.

Surely after all this time someone has created a syntax file for:

bash
sh
ksh

I know I could dig in and create one if I had to but I thought I would post here to make sure I was not missing something obvious (at least to others) that I am missing before I do that.

Thanks in advance,
-Jeff

You can download syntax files for the Bourne Shell (i.e. bash) at:

They probably work fairly well for the other shells too, not sure if there are any specific syntax files for them though.
