Re: .emacs file in XEmacs

[Yifeng Zhang]

Thank you Paul again for helping me.  I finally got some colors for my .m 
files.

Through XEmacs online FAQ, I learned that the startup file in the latest 
version (21.4) of XEmacs is init.el (it's .emacs in some earlier versions) 
in home directory.  I replaced it with John Eikenberry's file and my .m 
files are colored.  However, the colors are not very good, maybe because 
XEmacs can't find definition of a variable (c-font-lock-keywords-2) in my 
init.el file.  I deleted the variable otherwise there's no colors.  Maybe I 
should try to define the variable somewhere.
