Mode lines are not useful on certain unix shell scripts because the
shell specification must be on the first line. The folowing very
simple change causes the mode line to be recognized on the first or the
second line.
In the set-auto-mode function in files.el, change the two occurances of
(search-forward "-*-" (save-excursion (end-of-line) (point)) t)
to
(search-forward "-*-" (save-excursion (forward-line 1)(end-of-line) (point)) t)
Unless this messes something else up, I would like to propose that this be
incorperated into standard distributions.
