[rickyars]

i'm using mac os x 10.4, using the mac terminal app to ssh -Y into a
linus machine.  when i get there and run emacs -nw i get no colors.
how do i get emacs to appear in color (e.g. syntax highlighting while
writing c++).

thanks,

I'm using a windows XP machine where Xemacs was installed.
After a recent crash, I see no colours (eg syntax highlighting)
on texts that I open with Xemacs. What can I do, short
of reinstallation, to restore the colours? Anita

I tried to do M-x global-font-lock-mode and got (No match). I feel that
part of the
configuration file may have been deleted during the crash. What can I
do to restore
the config file so I can get the colours back?

Here is what I use in .emacs:

(cond ((fboundp 'global-font-lock-mode)
    ;; Turn on font-lock in all modes that support it
    (setq global-font-lock-mode t)
;   (setq jit-lock-mode t)
    ;; Maximum colors
    (setq font-lock-maximum-decoration t)))

Restore the file(s) from a recent backup.

What is the value of TERM on the remote site? Some terminals don't have 
colour. And since Emacs is running on that remote site it needs to have 
there a .emacs file too that switches on colours, i.e. font-lock-mode.
