I'm with you. When I programmed in Pascal (it was for school, sorry) I always used to disable Pascal-abbrev-mode because I didn't like the machine trying to complete my code for me. Maybe I don't WANT begin/end pairs. Or whatever. Or maybe I just like typing everything in. >Has anyone of you brought up syntax-highlighting using font-lock-mode? >It'd be nice to have the gismu, rafsi and cmavo displayed in different >colors.

In fact, paren-matching would be a HANDY thing (and more device-independent) for terminators. ~mark
