Highlighting the region

[Rancier, Jeff]

Hi,

 

I just moved from Windows to Linux and I’m using the following:

 

GNU Emacs 21.4.1 (i686-redhat-linux-gnu, X toolkit, Xaw3d scroll bars) of 2008-05-24 on builder16.centos.org

 

When I mark a region, the region should be yellow, correct?  Based on the settings below?  I don’t see anything when I hit C-space to mark the region.  I’m I missing something here?  query-replace-regexp highlights OK.

 

(set-face-foreground 'highlight "black")

(set-face-background 'highlight "yellow")

(set-face-background 'region   "yellow")

(set-face-background 'secondary-selection "lightskyblue1")

 

Thanks,

Jeff
