It does not. Can someone please explain what I am doing wrong? Interestingly if I do describe-variable on xx and then use the shown value t (setq xx THE-SHOWN-VALUE then (eval xx) does what I want. Here is the code that does NOT work: (defun mumamo-define-no-mode (mode-sym) (let ((mumamo-repl4 (make-symbol (format "mumamo-repl4-%s" mode-sym))) (lighter (format "No %s" mode-sym)) (doc (format "MuMaMo replacement for the mode %s which was not found." mode-sym))) (setq xx `(define-derived-mode ,mumamo-repl4 fundamental-mode ,lighter ,doc)) (message "xx=%s" (pp-to-string xx)) (eval xx) )) (mumamo-define-no-mode 'my-own9-mode)
