I have just compiled microEMACS 3.9e. I noticed that auto-cmode is gone from estruct.h. Is there a new and clever way of accomplishing the same thing with macro's. ..curious -- Greg Franks XIOS Systems Corporation, 1600 Carling Avenue, (613) 725-5411 Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, K1Z 8R8 utzoo!dciem!nrcaer!xios!greg "There's so much to sea in Nova Scotia"

This is bound to a macro in the standard emacs.rc file which parses the extension. This could be made to automatically perform any special "Language" mode. Warning however... the illegal keystroke method of generating "Hooks" (word wrap and file read right now) will be giving way to environment variables holding the name of functions to invoke at hook time in future releases.

I posted this to comp.sys.ibm.pc and then found out about comp.emacs. This is more appropriate so here goes. I compiled MicroEmacs 3.9e using Turbo C 1.0 Large model. I have one problem and one question. 1) Problem: I can't seem to use any of the system interface commands. If I use ^X-! (Shell-command) and then type a DOS command (e.g. DIR) it does the DIR and them locks up my PC. I have to reboot. 2) Question: I don't like the way ^N jumps the screen when I try to scroll the last line. Is there a way to scroll only one line at a time? -- Thanks, Bob Stockwell pacbell!ptsfa!res

To scroll one line at a time at the bottom of the window, you may first move-window-down (^X ^N) and then goes to next-line (^N). If you don't want to type 3 control keys, you may define a macro to do it and then bind ^N to the execute that macro. For instance, assume you use macro 30: 30 store-macro !if &equal $cwline $wline move-window-down next-line !else next-line !endif !endm bind-to-key execute-macro-30 ^N Include the above lines in your .emacsrc or emacs.rc file -- Conrad internet: kwok@iris.ucdavis.edu csnet: kwok@ucd.csnet csnet: kwok%iris.ucdavis.edu@csnet.relay uucp: {ucbvax, uunet, lll-lcc, ...}!ucdavis!iris!kwok

Hello world! Some time ago, I offered to send people the sources and docs for MicroEmacs 3.9e. My neighboring sites gently reminded me that such massive mailings cost them money. Anyway, of those of you who expressed an interest in receiving them by snail mail, I have lost your addresses. So, I am making an offer to all of you out there. If you feel like sending me a self-addressed mailer (return postage-paid) containing any of the following: * 2 formatted 5.25" 360K diskettes. * 1 formatted 5.25" 1.2 Mb diskette. * 1 formatted 3.5" 720 K diskette. * 1 formatted 3.5" 1.4 Mb diskette. I will be happy to send archives containing the sources and docs for uemacs 3.9e. Note: I can handle 360K diskettes and 3.5" diskettes indefinitely. I might lose access to the 1.2 Mb disk drive at any time, so hurry. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Pat Hirayama UUCP: ...!uw-entropy!{thebes,dataio}!suvax1!hirayama Seattle University or: dataio!suvax1!hirayama@entropy.ms.washington.edu Class of 1988 USNail: 28625-47th Place South, Auburn, WA 98001-1140 " . . .
