[Newbies] Left-arrow for assignment

[Giuseppe Luigi Punzi Ruiz]

I have Shout installed and I see, the := instead left arrow.

I can see, on World > Preferences > Preference Browser, under  
'browsing' category, an option called..

syntaxHighlightingAsYouTypeLeftArrowAssignment

I don't know if this is the option, but If I enable it, My ':=' are  
changed to '_', not to left arrow.

Cheers.
