 FreeBSD 7.0 with package emacs-22.1_2

 Attempt to edit a C file and emacs goes into some colorized mode.
 Of course it chooses colors that are unreadable.
 How do I turn OFF the colors and get simple black and white?
 (ASCII mode, not X11)

The default global-font-lock value has changed in Emacs 22.X, and it is
now turned *on*.  So if you want to turn font-lock off, you will have to
turn it off.  This should be as easy as adding the following to your
~/.emacs startup file:

(global-font-lock -1)

But this doesn't start Emacs in `no colors should be used at all' mode.
If you want to do that, you can fire up Emacs with:

emacs --color=no

Then Emacs will only use the usual `bold', `underline' and `reverse
video' attributes for displayed characters.

HTH,
Giorgos

That got rid of the black-on-black invisible ink, thanks.
