When I edit lisp code using the lisp mode that comes with Franz's eli,
the letters "ant" of defconstant are colored yellow, while the
"defconst" part is a light violet.

This bugs me;  how can I make this not happen?

I have emacs 20.3 and eli version 2.0.21.16 (I'm using ACL 5.0.1
trial edition for FreeBSD 3.x).

(this might well have been better on an emacs group?)

Have a look at font-lock-keywords, my guess is something is ramming
some emacs lisp pattern which has leaked in and which is interacting
badly with the other patterns -- probably defconst is getting
highlighted as well as defconstant.

Disable font lock mode.

I don't seem to have this problem with my XEmacs by the way....
