Peter> Hello XEmacs developers, First, let me apologise if this is Peter> the wrong list.

Hmm, this is not really an answer, but perhaps it will point you in the right direction. For major modes, it seems that XEmacs is automatically picking up {major-mode-name}-font-lock-keywords. I wonder if there is similar functionality for minor modes? Gleb (define-derived-mode procmail-mode fundamental-mode "Procmail" "Major mode for editing procmail recipes." (setq comment-start "#") (setq comment-start-skip "#[ \t]*") ;;register keywords (setq procmail-font-lock-keywords (list '("#.*" . font-lock-comment-face) '("^[\t ]*:.*" . font-lock-type-face) '("[A-Za-z_]+=.*" . font-lock-keyword-face) '("^[\t ]*\\*.*" . font-lock-doc-string-face) '("\$[A-Za-z0-9_]+" . font-lock-function-name-face))) ;(font-lock-add-keywords 'procmail-mode '(("\\(^[ ]*#.*$\\)" ; (1 'font-lock-comment-face t)))) (font-lock-mode))
