Oooh. I am moping because in AUCTeX, I was thinking of having a few "flags" attached to the mode-name, so that I can have a mode-name something like '((TeX-use-pdftex "PDF") TeX-base-mode-name (TeX-source-specials "^")) where the actual name is automatically composed from a few `lighters' that would look pretty foolish anywhere else. So maybe I need to hand-construct mode-name after all. -- David Kastrup, Kriemhildstr. 15, 44793 Bochum
