John,

works a charm here for me with Notepad++ 3.9.

You need to copy userDefineLang.xml to %APPDATA%\Notepad++, which on 
your system is probably something to the effect of C:\Documents and 
Settings\YourUserName\Application Data\Notepad++.

It also helps to change the ext-attribute in line 2 of 
userDefineLang.xml to ext="map", assuming you use .map as an extension 
for your map files.

And no, MapServer 5 doesn't use XML for map files yet.

Best regards,
