Howdy,

Looks very useful! Brand new to emacs, so sure I'm missing something... I have everything in ~\.emacs.d. From that directory in Terminal

cat default.el
    (add-to-list 'load-path "~/.emacs.d/ado-mode/lisp")
    (require 'ado-mode)

and 

ls 
ado-mode    auto-save-list  default.el

and

ls ado-mode
INSTALL.md          changes.txt         lisp                setup_aids
README.md           docs4github         readme.txt          syntax_testers
changes.md          font_highlighting_example.ado   scripts             templates

Any idea why after re-starting emacs and opening .do file, the code would still appear in black and white? Many thanks!

You would need to tell Emacs to associate do-files with ado-mode. Either that, or just start ado-mode via M-x ado-mode. After the first load of ado-mode in an Emacs session, it'll then look for the extensions. Sorry fo the massively late reply.
