Sure there are local file variables, but that is only for one file. And what about a *compilation* buffer? I don't think you are going to get any local variables in there. Currently my .emacs does (add-hook 'compilation-mode-hook (function (lambda () (toggle-read-only 1);else I often edit it because it ;looks like my makefile (toggle-truncate-lines); few docs for this (define-key compilation-mode-map "q" 'quit-window)))) I was hoping to have toggle-truncate-lines be in effect in some directories only. Must I make some big conditional deal right there in the hook, having to list which directories I want this on in... or can I one day maybe have a "little .emacs", say read by emacs the first time it visits a file in a directory, with items only applicable to files in that directory... and if I change the little .emacs, I would tell emacs to re digest it, unless I have autochecking on... Hmmm, this probably is too much of an agglutination of an idea. -- http://jidanni.org/ Taiwan(04)25854780
