1) in terminal type, emacs --version
2) in emacs, type "M-x" and then type global-font-lock-mode M stands for "meta" and is generally the ALT key.
3) what the other guy said
Hello,
I am running Mac os x lion and I want to use emacs to try to write some shell scripts for work. I am new to emacs so I would like help with some very basic things.
1. What is the command to determine the version of emacs that is provided with lion?
2. How do I enable color highlighting for syntext?
3 How do I get a list of the command sequences that auto generate things like "for", "while" and "do" loops for the various languages (C++, ruby, etc) I might use?
Thanks for any help you can give me.
