Together with the error message you should > be able to figure it out. :-) You're too kind.. In your post, you provided this below: ;;======================================================================= [C-h v font-lock-keywords] Emacs: "FACENAME is an expression whose value is the face name to use." ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ XEmacs: "FACE-FORM :== The symbol naming a defined face. | Expression whos value is the face name to use. If you want FACE-FORM to be a symbol that evaluates to a face, use a form like "(progn sym)"." ;;======================================================================= And unfortunately I do not entirely understand. Are you saying that XEmacs needs a 'progn form for the face? By quoting the face: (defvar newlisp-font-lock-keywords `(,@scheme-font-lock-keywords (,(concat "\\<\\(" newlisp-keywords "\\)\\>") . 'font-lock-newlisp-keywords-face) ;; quoted here ) "List of newlisp keywords and faces") Highlighting is now 'enabled' in GNU emacs *but* is now 'disabled' in XEmacs. Don't know how to resolve ... thanks tim -- Tim Johnson http://www.alaska-internet-solutions.com
