[comp.emacs] mode line; auto-mode-alist

DRB@VAX01.AMS.COM (Drew Burton) (04/05/89)

	I've got 2 questions that I think are fairly simple but are
beyond me.  I'm working with GNU 18.52 on VMS 4.7.

	1) how do I add the default directory to the mode line?  I've found
the variable mode-line-format and changed it to include the directory.  When
I create a new buffer I get a new copy of the mode-line-format variable which
is in the original format.

	2) How do I come up in C mode for files with extensions other 
than .c?   It looks like I need to add to auto-mode-alist, but I don't 
know how to do that.

	Thanks for your patience and help.
