Are you using GNU emacs? Try www.xemacs.org, install that and then untar 
xemacs-sumo-xx.gz into /usr/local/lib/xemacs/  and add (load "font 
lock") to your .emacs. Works real nice for me :) Also, if you do this 
make sure to check out eshell and M-x ecb-activate for an even better 
de. Hope this helps a bit. But it probabally won't. :/
