Syntax highlighting
Emacs traditionally does not support syntax highlighting, so you had to write your own mode for that to happen (mode is GNU speak for a filter), the version available for OS/2 used an older method to make this happen so the tutorials on the net are not 100% applicable, but you can use the Modula-2 mode listed in the links section below as a model for your own mode. It is not as difficult as it may seem at first.
