I'm using it for a computer science at UC Berkeley, either through PuTTY or Xming. When using Xming I get the X version of emacs, which has the options menu and allows me to specify syntax highlighting and parenthesis matching. However, for the command line version over PuTTY I can't seem to do that. I see the same menus at the top but I don't know how to get to them. I've read the tutorial but maybe I missed something? Can someone help me enable parenthesis matching? It's a lot faster using PuTTY than Xming and I don't need the graphical emacs, but programming Scheme is a pain without parenthesis matching. Thanks for the help.
