On my lenny system there is a file called /etc/nanorc.  If you
uncomment the line which looks like

#  include "/usr/share/nano/sh.nanorc"

so it looks like

include "/usr/share/nano/sh.nanorc"

you should get syntax highlighting for files with the .sh extension.
Highlighting for other languages can be enabled in the same way.
