I just installed gnuemacs 18.41 and have a couple of questions:
1. Is there an equivalent to auto-execute? I noticed something about
some language hooks but nothing about how to write my own language
sensitive bindings, any suggestions on easy ways to execute commands
when certain file extensions are read?
2. When I load vip-mode I can't get it to come up in vip-mode, it
comes up in emacs mode requiring me to hit Ctrl-Z to switch modes,
is there a way to force it not to come up in Emacs mode.
Forgive these questions if they have already been beaten to death here,
I am a vi user with rather limited knowledge of emacs.

I asked the very same question not long ago and the answer that works reliably came from Leonard(?) Tower (apologies if I got the name wrong: I've already deleted the message) What I have in my .emacs file is: (load "vip") (setq term-setup-hook 'vip-mode) This makes the startup code in startup.elc execute the vip-mode function. Why doing "(vip-mode)" in .emacs doesn't work I don't understand. I'm not complaining. It works.

It turns out that to make emacs come up in vi mode, it is sufficient
for the .emacs file to say just
(setq term-setup-hook 'vip-mode)
In my previous posting I stated that .emacs should (load "vip") ... that
is unnecessary.

(describe-variable 'auto-mode-alist) gives: Documentation: Alist of filename patterns vs corresponding major mode functions. Each element looks like (REGEXP . FUNCTION). Visiting a file whose name matches REGEXP causes FUNCTION to be called. In my .emacs I have: ; automatically load nroff-mode on .me files, etc. (private convention) (setq auto-mode-alist (append auto-mode-alist '(("\\.me$" . nroff-mode) ("^/tmp/post" . text-mode) ("^/tmp/fol" . text-mode)))) Hope this helps, and thanks to <Kyle@ODU.EDU>, our resident GNU-wizard. -- John Owens Old Dominion University - Norfolk, Virginia, USA john@ODU.EDU old arpa: john%odu.edu@RELAY.CS.NET +1 804 440 4529 old uucp: {seismo,harvard,sun,hoptoad}!xanth!john
