[comp.emacs] Lost in Electric

 HI !

   I'm trying to write an electric mode in GNU EMACS, but I'm just a novice
and can't find the right documentation to help me.  I am using the 
define-abbrev-table function to do expansions on key words. My quesion 
is this:

     What do you do to turn off the electric mode when you are in 
multi-line comments delimited, like in C, by something like /*  */ ?

I think this is a basic question, but I haven't found anyone who can give
me the answer.  If someone could point me to some documentation that
can explain it to me, I'd be very thankful.
