My .emacs file is pretty simple that I found somewhere on the net. ;################################# ; Turn on font-lock in supported modes (if (fboundp 'global-font-lock-mode) (global-font-lock-mode t)) ; Maximum colors (setq font-lock-maximum-decoration t) ;################################# This does a good job coloring my shell scripts. However, vim does this automatically in FC2 with no modification necessary. Not only that, but it also colors other important system files like /etc/inittab that emacs doesn't with these settings. Assuming I don't want to switch to vi, is simple way to get emacs to snytax highlight more of the basic system files? I don't really want to install additional software. Bradley Ross
