Hi,

Thanks for replying.

This does not seem to do anything, as far as I can see.

I have the following lines in my .emacs which involve use of the word paren.

 '(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.
 '(show-paren-match-face ((((class color)) 
(:foreground "turquoise" :weight bold))))
 '(show-paren-mismatch-face ((((class color)) 
(:foreground "red" :weight bold)))))

Do I need to add something else?

                                                                         Faheem.
