[net.emacs] Emacs Mode Line Format

Duane.Williams%CMU-CS-IUS@sri-unix.UUCP (04/02/84)

The proper way (in Unix Emacs version #265) to set the default value of
the buffer specific mode-line-format variable is:

(setq-default mode-line-format "put your format string here")

The current edition of the Unix Emacs manual from James Gosling does
not describe a default-mode-line-format variable.
