I think the lines you've added are fine, but need to be added to /etc/emacs.d/site-lisp/50gforth.el, not gforth.el, because as far as I can see, the Debian Emacs routines don't automatically use autoload (though some individual packages do). This solution is used, for example, by inform-mode. However, if you want to really be nice, then you should add the lines to gforth.el, preceded by ;;;###autoload so that they work with autoload, and then also add the lines to 50gforth.el, so they are actually loaded at startup by Debian Emacs. This has two advantages: 1. You can supply the patch to gforth.el to upstream, and it will improve gforth.el for all Emacs users. 2. If Debian ever starts using autoload in all Emacs extension packages, then the necessary change to gforth.el has already been made. > BTW, is there some kind of a list of the filename extensions "registered" > by the various Emacs modes in Debian?

You may in any case want to check whether what I said above is correct. -- http://rrt.sc3d.org -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
