I suspect that the ability to highlight syntax when using -nw (that is, not
starting an X-aware instance of Emacs) depends on the terminfo/termcap
description of available for your current $TERM setting. For example, when
I start it with -nw and have TERM set to "xterm" on my Mac the only
highlighting I get is bold font for various things. If I set TERM to
"color_xterm" or "xterm-256color" I get two colors, black and medium blue
(but lose the bold font). That's nowhere near as much as I get when I run
an X-aware XEmacs.
