Why run nedit at all? (almost) Anything you can do in it you can do many 
times faster w/ jove, vi, even emacs..  And emacs is the main reason I 
like color.  Using font-lock instead of hilit19, the performance isn't 
bad, and syntax colorized code is such a delight.  (This is someone who 
is used to running emacs over 14.4 modem, what with line deletes taking 3 
seconds)  What it boils down to is, I'm much happier having slow color 
than zippy B&W as color makes 640x480 go a lot farther...

I'm going to check my figures on this.. For some reason, when I fired up 
a color ls today, nothing happened (no colors) hurmm...

Hmm, color sig, anyone?
