Emacs has syntax highlighting built in for common languages. They call 
it 'global-font-lock-mode'. Add the following to your ~/.emacs startup file:

(global-font-lock-mode 1)
(setq font-lock-maximum-decoration t)
(setq inhibit-splash-screen t)
(fset 'yes-or-no-p 'y-or-n-p)    ; Treat 'y' or <CR> as yes, 'n' as no.
(when (not window-system) (menu-bar-mode nil))
(normal-erase-is-backspace-mode 0)

You can turn stuff off and off while its running through the menus but 
its usually easier to configure through the ~/.emacs file.
You might also try GNU Emacs instead of Xemacs. It looks the same in an 
X-windows environment and has the benefit of working in a text 
environment as well.
