I am a vi user (I'm not going to apologize for that). My boss is an emacs user. I've recently upgraded his machine from RedHat 7.1 to 7.3 and the new version of Gnu Emacs uses all sorts of colors that my boss hates. How do you turn off colors??? I have actually managed to do it for a single gnu emacs session by simply unchecking Syntax Highlighting in the Options menu. However, when I save the options ( again, in the Options menu ), it apparently doesn't work because those nasty colors show up again when I restart emacs. I'm sure I can edit the .emacs file by hand but for the life of me I can't figure out how to do it. Will someone please help this emacs newbie?
