Do you mean this? http://www.emacswiki.org/cgi-bin/wiki/ShowParenMode
This is the contents of my .emacs file:
(load-file "~$MASTER/adm/class.emacs")
(custom-set-variables
;; custom-set-variables was added by Custom -- don't edit or cut/
paste it!
;; Your init file should contain only one such instance.
'(case-fold-search t)
'(current-language-environment "ASCII")
'(global-font-lock-mode t nil (font-lock))
'(show-paren-mode t nil (paren)))
(custom-set-faces
;; custom-set-faces was added by Custom -- don't edit or cut/paste
it!
;; Your init file should contain only one such instance.
'(menu ((((type x-toolkit)) (:width normal :family "Courier")))))
One other question, when I am running emacs and I have two buffers
open together (editing on top and scheme on the bottom) in the X
version I can click on the top half to get back to my editing window,
but with the command line version I can't. I've been resorting to c-x
1 c-x b to switch back to the editing buffer but I'm sure there's a
better way. Sorry for my noobishness, I have about two days worth of
emacs experience.
