Subject: Re: syntax highlighting
I strongly recommend that you use Gnu Emacs, not XEmacs. Many functions are not implemented in XEmacs, and in particular the debugging support we will introduce for the bigger projects will run only in Gnu, not X Emacs.

If you insist on using XEmacs, then simply delete the line in the .emacs file having to do with transient-mark-mode. This line causes the command line to show the beginning line of a region, when it is marked. A very handy feature, but not available in XEmacs.

As a reminder, to run Gnu Emacs on an Andrew Unix machine, use the command "emacs-20".
