Thanks for your work.  Notepad++ is my editor of choice on Windows, but
I seldom use it for DCL.  This might give me an incentive, though I
would need to upgrade Samba and/or fuss with other ways to move files
back and forth between VMS and Windows.

Also worth considering is the VSCode extension for DCL:

Oddly, the VSI extension for VSCode:

includes syntax highlighting for Pascal, MMS, CLD, and MSG, but not DCL.
