OK. So I have found this post here:

http://mail.gnome.org/archives/mc-devel/2004-January/msg00068.html

followed the instructions in the file:

Smarty PHP template engine syntax for GNU Midnight Commander

Installation (suppose MC has syntax definitions in 
/usr/share/mc/syntax):

   1. Put the file smarty.syntax into /usr/share/mc/syntax

   DONE!

   2. Edit the file /usr/share/mc/syntax/Syntax
      Put the following block in front of first existing
      definition:

      file ..\*\\.(tpl|TPL)$ Smarty\sTemplate\sFile
      include smarty.syntax

There is no such file called 'Syntax' in the syntax 
directory. So I created a file calles Syntax in the syntax 
directory, and added those two lines, but when I open a 
*.tpl file, there is no syntax highlighting.

There is no Syntax file under my home dir ~/.mc/cedit/

There is a file called syntax.syntaxin /usr/share/mc/syntax, 
but when I add those 2 lines above:

      file ..\*\\.(tpl|TPL)$ Smarty\sTemplate\sFile
      include smarty.syntax

This causes a syntax error in that file.

So I have a smarty.syntax file now in /usr/share/mc/syntax, 
but I cannot seem to get mc to use it. Any suggs please how 
to get this working?

Kind Regards,

Keith Roberts
