well, still experimenting here, but need to go to bed! I've posted my
.xemacs directory at http://www.derailleur.org/xemacs -- thought it
was a bit much to send everyone all those files!
basically:
-- colors seem to work perfectly well when xemacs is run without the
-nw switch, that is, in its own "frame".
-- when run iwth the -nw switch in an xterm, it seems to be very
difficult to get colors to work. I've had some success with
http://www.derailleur.org/xemacs/somecolors.el, but for some reason
the post-mode customizations in that file don't have any effect. Other color
schemes,
e.g. http://www.derailleur.org/xemacs/colors.el and
http://www.derailleur.org/xemacs/morecolors.el, don't seem to work at
all.
xemacs knows it's in a color terminal, and can display colors, for
instance, when I use the M-x customize functions to create the file at
http://www.derailleur.org/xemacs/custom.el . But many of my favorite
functions are missing -- for instance, syntax highlighting *anywhere*.
I wonder whether maybe syntax highlighting is just turned off by
default in the console, and I have to figure out how to turn it on
somehow? Or is this perhaps a bug of some kind?
anyway, going to bed, thanks for the help!!!
