using fume with gnu emacs 21.2.1

Hi,

Is it possible to install and use the fume package (or something similar)
which is normally installed with XEmacs in Gnu emacs (in particular version 
21.2.1) ?

cheers Chris

M-x imenu RET
M-x imenu-add-menubar-index RET

A preposition is not a good thing to end a sentence with.

Thanks, thats what I was looking for !

One problem I have with this is that it does not seem to automatically 
update the menu when I switch between buffers or frames. I have to run 
"rescan" manaully. I found via a www search that adding

(require 'imenu)
(add-hook 'c++-mode-hook (function (lambda () (imenu-add-menubar-index))))
(add-hook 'c-mode-hook (function (lambda () (imenu-add-menubar-index))))
(add-hook 'fortran-mode-hook (function (lambda () 
(imenu-add-menubar-index))))

to my .emacs makes imenu start automatically, but is there anything I can 
add to make it up rescan automatically ? I found references to a 
`imenu-auto-rescan' variable but since I know next to nothing about lisp, I 
can't seem to get it to work.....

C-h v imenu-auto-rescan RET gives you the documentation, which tells
you that you can customize the variable.  That word is a link,
middle-click on it (or hit RET on it).  Then follow the prompts and
don't forget to save your changes.
