I have come to appreciate the syntax highlighting which makes it much easier to structure the text. Recently I have downloaded, compiled and installed release emacs 21.4 on a SUSE 10.0 linux system. Compilation and installation seemed to work ok. However, I soon noticed that the menus cannot be invoked with the mouse and my tex files do not show any syntax highlighting after invoking M-x font-lock-mode except for some characters that are changed to bold typeface. There is however no colour. Am I missing something? Some quick pointers would be appreciated Cheers Karl
