text highlighting is controlled by transient-mark-mode. It's on by
default since emacs 23.1.See:
• New Features in Emacs 23
http://xahlee.org/emacs/emacs23_features.html
in a text terminal, highlighting also can be effected by your terminal
setup. You have to turn on ascii color or something called that if you
haven't already...
see if these helps.
