I am connecting to a server through SecureCRT and am using command line emacs (not X11). Is there a way to get color? In particular, when I code I would like emacs to color keywords etc. Currently everything is either black or white.

Check the value of the
TERMenvironment variable, obtained withecho $TERM. Emacs under xterm-like terminals does colors, so you can try starting it withTERM=xterm emacs.
