I have 2 questions: 1) I'm using a Cit-101 & for some reason Emacs thinks that I only have 79 columns eventhough the termcap file indicates that the Cit-101 has 80 columns. Does anyone now how I can get Emacs to use all 80 columns? 2) I would like to have text-mode as my default mode when entering Emacs (unless the file is a scribe, TeX, or C file), however, I haven't been able to get my profile configured properly. (All of the other modes seem to work as desired) Does anyone know how to do this? Currently, my profile file looks like the following: (autoload "time" "time") (autoload "text-mode" "text-mode.ml") (autoload "TeX-mode" "TeX-mode.ml") (autoload "scribe-mode" "scribe.ml") (autoload "power-c-mode" "/home/colbert/emacs/maclib/power-c.ml") (autoload "electric-lisp-mode" "electric-lisp.ml") . . . ; set default mode as text-mode (load "text-mode.ml") (text-mode) ; set alternate modes when appropos (auto-execute "power-c-mode" "*.c") (auto-execute "power-c-mode" "*.h") (auto-execute "electric-lisp-mode" "*.ml") (auto-execute "TeX-mode" "*.tex") (auto-execute "scribe-mode" "*.mss") (time) Thanks, Ed Colbert

1. If I remember correctly... you need to set emacs for one less column than is on the screen to keep the cursor from scrolling up the screen when a character is typed on the last column of the last line. 2. Always start up in text-mode.. (auto-execute "text-mode" "*\0") Stifle those screams.

Actually, (auto-execute "text-mode" "/*") is a little bit nicer and
also works (since all path names start with /).
By the way, I seem to remember the termcap driver always using ``co#''-1
columns, instead of checking the :am: flag, in the distributed versions
of Emacs. If you are using a terminal for which there is a special
driver, then you may need source to fix the ``scrolls from last line''
problem.
