I don't know if this is related or not, but for a while now I haven't
been able to get colors when I run a maxima session like I used to be
able to.  The screenshot in the Maxima Book is what it used to look
like, and the one in the screenshots page is what I've got now.  Am I
missing an option or has something changed?  Here are the possibly
relevant sections of my .emacs file (using GNU Emacs 21.3.1)
