GNU emacs has font-lock mode, just like xemacs does, if you like to have it everywhere, the info file that comes with GNU emacs, suggests you use: (global-font-lock-mode t) (setq font-lock-maximum-decoration t) in your .emacs. It also suggests: (setq font-lock-support-mode 'lazy-lock-mode) to make it faster on large files. To my knowledge, nvi -- the "vi" you get with freebsd -- doesn't have color higlighting, but (x)vile, elvis, and vim all do. Both xvile and vim are in ports/editors -- vim5 has syntax highlighting, I don't think vim4 does. VIM is a really neat vi superset, by the way. -- Evgeny Roubinchtein, eroubinc@u.washington.edu ................... Logic: The art of being wrong with confidence...
