This is how I do it. I added this to my .emacs file so that when I load in a file that ends with ".foo", EMACS enters "bar" mode. (setq auto-mode-alist (append auto-mode-alist (list (cons '"\\.foo$" 'bar-mode)))) Hope this helps. BTW, where the #$@#$ does "foo" and "bar" come from? Why "foo" and why "bar"? -- ***Palindrome->Emacs came, Dale, lad, Emacs came.*** Looks more (bonk) * Disclaimer: I don't disclaim nothing!
