[Disclaimer: I use GNU Emacs, not XEmacs, so this advice might be inaccurate.] Does it work if you start xemacs with the `-q' switch, which should cause your .emacs file to be ignored? If so then that's an indication that there's something in your .emacs that's interfering with the ruby mode. With -q, you will probably need to invoke font-lock-mode manually with M-x font-lock-mode. -- "I knew it was a bad sign when I drove through Hell (MI) on Wednesday and there was snow on the ground and all the standing water had a layer of ice on the surface...
