opening .dbm pages in dreamweaver mx

I have a bunch of .dbm pages on several of our sites.  I added the .dbm to the prefernces under file types and editors, but how do you get it color coded.  In HomeSite you can go to Options - Settings - Color Coding and add the extension but I cant find that in Dreamweaver.  Any help would be appreciated.

Well,

Dreamweaver is based on XML and JavaScript and keeps all kind of settings in the Configuration folder.
Check out C:\Program Files\Macromedia\Dreamweaver MX 2004\Configuration\CodeColoring

Inside this folder there is the code for coding colors. It is not as easy to setup as HomeSite... but on the other hand you can setup soooo much more here...
(And yes - make a backup of the Configuration folder, before you start implementing changes ;-)

Is it possible to just copy the coldfusion7 colorings and apply to the .dbm files?
Okay - I went into the CodeColoring.xml and where ever I saw Coldfusion I also added the DBM.  This didn't work.  So - did I completely miss something?  Any other suggestions?
