   I believe I've seen it mentioned here that the emacs language modes can 
   provide some colors to highlight various structures. Am I misremembering 
   this? I have the DOS version of emacs 19.30 and no colors appear - is 
   there something I have to do to turn this on, or is it supposed to appear 
   on its own (implying that my distribution is deficient)? I quick scan 
   (too quick?) of the FAQ didn't seem to contain any pointers.

   Thanks.

Execute:

M-x font-lock-mode 

to turn on source highlighting  the default is to use highlighting and 
underlining but I have seen people define colors for these.  Check out 
the lisp.
