Also could possibly use a bit of In what way does Vim colourise the buffers? Do you just mean normal keyword/font/color associations? Emacs already does this in Emacs 22 and later where font-lock-mode is turned on by default I think. e.g see http://richardriley.net/projects/emacs/dotemacs For fancier stuff see: http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/ColorTheme (It's a bit confusing that page imo, but the main point is to download the latest color-theme tar, add it to your lisp load path and then install a color theme) I actually started to use a vim favorite recently and so my .emacs contains (require 'zenburn) (color-theme-zenburn) Google will locate the zenburn.el file. But for your googling efforts, "color-theme emacs" are the key words. regards r. > help on getting started with Clisp development.
