It seems that since the beginning of time, Xemacs never performed
syntax highlightin automatically when a file is loaded. On one of my
machines, however, it is now doing just that. I have always had
syntax highlighting in my initialization file.
Does anyone know what I did right on that machine?

Your sources.list must have testing repositories,i. e.
deb http://http.us.debian.org/debian testing main contrib non-free
and you must issue:
apt-get update
If you want to use testing as the default release,
in apt.conf you should have a line
APT::Default-Release "testing";
I hope this helps
