Hmm. The mode in the *maxima* buffer is a derived mode from
comint-mode, and comint-mode does all the font-locking. So I'm not
sure why nothing is happening, perhaps the XEmacs comint-mode doesn't
do any coloring? I don't know, I'll look into it.

Yes. In Linux, you can find them with
maxima --help
I don't know what the Windows analogue is.
