Terminal-based text editor with color syntax hilighting

[Dave Benjamin]

Hey folks,

I often write Python over a terminal session, and I really enjoy working
with color syntax hilighting, so my editor of choise for the past year or so
has been Jed. I've heard that it's possible to get color hilighting to work
with Emacs, but so far I've been unable to get that working. (Note: I'm
talking about an SSH session, not an XTerm. Text only.)

I think Jed is a nice editor, and it's very fast, but I'm wondering if there
are any other editors that support this feature. Does anyone know?

Thanks,
Dave
