Hi all,
I have implemented a new major mode, and I can now load it. I have a
file that uses my new mode and the new mode source code in diff
buffers. I use load-file to load the new mode, however, I am not so
sure this is the best method to do it. What is the best method to
debug the new mode?
Cheers,

What do you mean by "debugging" ? What you can do is unit-tests
and see if it behaves the way you thought it should have
been. You can also try all commands/functions of your mode in a
-Q launched session.
