Hi, Thomas! I don't know much about the clearcase package, so I can't really make suggestions to resolve the issues mentioned below. Especially the first one make me reluctant to apply the patch myself. Sorry. If you or someone else can come up with the appropriate way to register these defaults, or explain why it needs to be done this way, I'll be happy to apply. Thomas Viehweger writes: At least in XEmacs, `font-lock-defaults' is automatically buffer-local. You could just use setq here. But this is clearly not the right thing to do. `font-lock-defaults' documents that the keywords should be placed in a property on a major mode symbol. Why eval-when-compile? That just turns this into a literal list anyway. _______________________________________________ XEmacs-Beta mailing list XEmacs-Beta(a)xemacs.org http://lists.xemacs.org/mailman/listinfo/xemacs-beta
