Thanks for the .emacs file. I used your file and put the font-colours.el to a suitable place. But still syntax highlighting isn't working in the console mode.(Sorry I forgot to mention that syntax highlighting works when I start emacs under X, but not under console or using -nw switch). Anything special I must do get this working under console ? Regards, Santanu ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.NET email is sponsored by: Geek Gift Procrastinating?
