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. dtw@cmu-cs-ius
