I'm a little disappointed (but not surprised) that everyone replying
so far says to edit the .emacs file.
The simple and user-friendly answer is to use the Options menu, enable
Syntax Highlighting and then Save Options.
I'm also encouraging new users to use the custom interface rather than
scaring them with elisp edits.
My two cents.
