On removing the shy groups, the regex error disappeared under 21.4.
The highlighting still didn't work. I simplified it to the following,
which does:

(defvar my-keywords
 '(
   ("\\([\-+0-9a-zA-Z \.]\\{1,8\\}\\)\\([\-+0-9a-zA-Z \.]\\{1,8\\}\\)?"
                          1 '(:background "LightBlue1"))
  )
)

How can get this only to be active on lines between "BEGIN DATA" and "END DATA"?

Please cc me on replies, as I am not subscribed.

Jeff
