I looked in the manual >and tried a couple of things, but nothing worked. Here's what I do: First of all, I set the default mode (what is used when there is no file-name-dependent mode to invoke) to be text-mode, by setting the emacs default mode: (setq default-major-mode 'text-mode) After text-mode is invoked, it runs its "hook", a lisp form that is evaluated (or a list of such forms) to allow for your own customizations. I get text-mode to also come up in auto-fill thus: (setq text-mode-hook 'turn-on-auto-fill) Cheers, -- /jr jr@bbn.com or bbn!jr
