The use find-file-hooks instead of jave-mode-hook.

There is another way, using

(setq compile-command
      '<lisp expression that evaluates to a string>)

like

(setq compile-command
      '(cond ((string-match "\\`~/dev/foo/" default-directory)
	      "cd ~/dev/foo; ant")

This won't work if he uses dired, gnus, man, etc... while in
~/dev/foo/.

Re: How to *completely* disable font-lock mode in my .emacs?


   AFAIK, X resources aren't used on a text-terminal.

Hm, well I nevertheless have good results both under X and on a
terminal, and moreover, in the case of a terminal, the background
can be either dark or light background, and Emacs adjusts the
*default* face accordingly.  The font lock setup I use is optimized
for a dark background, including plenty of yellow etc., so I don't
really advise using it on a terminal with a light background unless
you have to.

I should probably have posted this little .emacs snippet too, which
is useful in combination with the .Xdefaults config.  This is only
relevant under X; its purpose is to keep flickering at startup time
down to a minimum.

(Cf. http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/help-gnu-emacs/2004-02/msg00757.html)

(cond (window-system
       (setq default-frame-alist
             '((internal-border-width . 2)
               (border-width . 2)
               (left-fringe . 0)
               (right-fringe . 0)
               (menu-bar-lines . 0)
               (tool-bar-lines . 0)
               (tool-bar-lines . 0)
               (modeline . t) 
               (width . 85)

(setenv "econ" "/home/ken/projects/writings/politics/econ")

Then C-x C-f $econ/foo RET.

You can also always use $x and redefine it depending on your work
context.

Re: keypad.el wierdness in CVS emacs?

If there is no binding for S-<foo> where <foo> is a function key, then
Emacs will use the binding for <foo> instead.

This means that just doing

(global-set-key (kbd "S-<kp-7>") 'forward-char)

will change what C-h c S-<kp-7> will do!

Why does Emacs do such strange things?  So that people can hit C-f
even if CapsLock is on.

There is a mode I found somewhere on the net which is ok. Find it
attached. Otherwise shell script mode is usually adequate.

syntax highlighting question

Hi, I'd like to make a new region to syntax highlight
similar to C-style comments.  I'd like to start it
with
// DBG
and end it with
// GBD

Everything in-between I'd like to set to some color. 
I'm a newbie to emacs customization, does anyone know
off-hand if this can be done in emacs, or are things
like C-style comments hardcoded somewhere?

Thanks in advance.
