Thanks for the letter-mode function, things are better now :) This is my ~/.emacs: ;; Options Menu Settings ;; =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D (cond ((and (string-match "XEmacs" emacs-version) (boundp 'emacs-major-version) (or (and (=3D emacs-major-version 19) (>=3D emacs-minor-version 14)) (=3D emacs-major-version 20)) (fboundp 'load-options-file)) (load-options-file "/usr/marko/.xemacs-options"))) ;; =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D= =3D=3D=3D=3D ;; End of Options Menu Settings (autoload 'send-pr-mode "send-pr" "Major mode for sending problem reports." t) (autoload 'send-pr "send-pr" "Command to create and send a problem report." t) (custom-set-variables) (custom-set-faces) (global-font-lock-mode t) (global-set-key "=18=07" 'goto-line) (defun letter-mode () ;this gets called by F8 (interactive) (indented-text-mode) (flyspell-mode nil) (auto-fill-mode nil) ) > Greg > -- > Finger grog@lemis.com for PGP public key > See complete headers for address and phone numbers --=20 PERL has been described as "the duct tape of the Internet" and "the Unix Swiss Army chainsaw" - Computer Shopper 12/99 ________________________________________________________________ FreeBSD - The Power To Serve http://www.freebsd.org My Webpage http://ukug.uk.freebsd.org/~mark/ mailto:mark@ukug.uk.freebsd.org http://www.radan.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
