Hi!
[please CC me, i'm not on the list]
I sadly noticed that my .emacs file was load only in "fundamental" mode
when editing it. Digging through, I noticed that the default .emacs
entry in auto-mode-alist is:
("[/\\][._].*emacs\\'" . emacs-lisp-mode)
I don't understand the first []. Why the need for a / or \ before the
.emacs? Is this setup the default behavior?
Adding the following in my .emacs fixed it:
(setq auto-mode-alist (append auto-mode-alist '(("\\.emacs\\'" .
emacs-lisp-mode))))
It works. Why isn't *that* the default?
The version is: 21.1 (patch 9) "Canyonlands" XEmacs Lucid on Windows NT,
installed from binary.
Thank you, have a nice day!
A.
