<p>Oops — I should have tested this before posting. The compiler
interprets such pragmats according to its own rules,so in
practice the delimiters would have to be COMMENT delimiters, as
in :</p>

<p>COMMENT % !TeX Program=Algol-68 COMMENT</p>

<p>As before, is there any possibility to make the syntax of the
line-1 typesetting engine programat more flexible, perhaps
defining it in terms of a regular expression to allow other
compiler syntaces to be supported ?</p>

<p>Alternatively, could TeXworks <i>infer</i> the correct
"typesetting engine" from the filename extension for files with
extensions other than ".tex" ? This would eliminate the need for
line-1 typesetting engine pragmats for files with non-standard
extensions and use instead a user-editable look-up table given the
correct "typesetting engine" for each non-standard extension
(e.g., ".a68").</p>
