Maxima emacs mode/fontlock colours



Hi Jay.

I'm just wondering... Do you use your mode with GNU emacs, or xemacs? 
I'm using xemacs 21.4, and there seems to be a number of things that
just don't quite work, and give errors in the status line.

Should I get some of them down, and send them along?  Or are you already
aware of these promlem(s), or have I misconfigured something?

Thanks
Neilen
