mcedit(1), chapter SYNTAX HIGHLIGHTING:

wholechars abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ_

# default colors
define  comment   brown
context default
  keyword  whole  if       yellow
  keyword  whole  else     yellow
  keyword  whole  for      yellow
  keyword  whole  while    yellow
  keyword  whole  do       yellow
  keyword  whole  switch   yellow
  keyword  whole  case     yellow
  keyword  whole  static   yellow
  keyword  whole  extern   yellow
  keyword         {        brightcyan
  keyword         }        brightcyan
  keyword         '*'      green


Does it have anything in common with a typical syntax/*vim file?

syn match   plsqlKeyword "\<END\>"
syn match   plsqlKeyword "\.COUNT\>"hs=s+1
syn match   plsqlKeyword "\.EXISTS\>"hs=s+1
syn match   plsqlKeyword "\.FIRST\>"hs=s+1
syn match   plsqlKeyword "\.LAST\>"hs=s+1
syn match   plsqlKeyword "\.DELETE\>"hs=s+1
syn match   plsqlKeyword "\.PREV\>"hs=s+1
syn match   plsqlKeyword "\.NEXT\>"hs=s+1


There is no way of doing what you want, syntax highlighting is radically
different in mcedit and vim.
