Well, there is first the simpliest way to do it: insert a file variable comment in these files. (info "(emacs)File Variables") / -*- mode:text; comment-start:"/"; coding:utf-8 on the first or second line, or: / Local Variables: / mode: text / comment-start: "/" / coding: utf-8 / End: at the end. You don't necessarily need to make a major mode, you can put any function in auto-mode-alist. (require 'cl) (push `(\\.jou$" . ,(lambda () (text-mode) (setf comment-start "/"))) auto-mode-alist) should work (not tested). Also you could do it with a find-file-hook, etc. -- __Pascal Bourguignon__ http://www.informatimago.com http://pjb.ogamita.org
