Can someone send me a copy of the code used to cause GNU to display the current time on the mode line. I've seen this done in GosEmacs, and I'm next to certain that Gnu can do it too. Am I right? Or is it just a pipe dream? A speedy response would be appreciated.... iain

Someone responded with M-x display time (which works wonderfully...) Now, how do I set up my .emacs file so that it loads automatically? Also, whatever in the world does the information it displays stand for? I mean given (11:06pm 0.62[5]) I realize that 11:06pm is the time. but what is 0.62[5]? Curious.... iain

You may also try to read the emacs on-line manual. Type M-x info and choose the Emacs entry from the menu. Sergio Mujica mujica@cs.ucla.edu Computer Science Department, UCLA

Curious.... > > > iain the 0.62 (in your case) is the load avg. of your machine. the [5] is some disk ratio, and I have never been able to make any sence of it. What I did is modify the display time filter to remove this. While my own version of loadst would be more efficient, I move my .emacs all over the place, so did it this way. -- {...}!rutgers!mende mende@cs.rutgers.edu mende@zodiac.bitnet
