Yeah, I guess it isn't such a big deal.  One thing is clear though:
Emacs developers should be sent on a nice sea cruise to the Carribean
or something for the nifty work on syntax colors in console/character mode.
Anyone taking up a collection?  : )

Syntax highlighting via telnet, ssh or other remote usage... Ultra
cool.  Now my favorite editor is really much more usefull.  I can set
in a recent Java class and ssh home to use my own emacs running on a
solaris (intel) (The home port of java.. sort of) for editing while
the others are struggling with wordpad or something.  And, I'm seeing
the code in nifty colors that help me keep the mistakes down.

For any other solaris (intel) users:  I've found I can ssh in from
just about any TERM setting supporting ansi colors.  Then set the
Remote shell to TERM=sun-color and the syntax highlighting comes thru
like a champ.
