awk-scripting

[Dieter.Jurzitza@t-online.de (Dr. Ing. Dieter Jurzitza)]

Dear listmembers,
whenever I load awk-mode it does not seem to do what I expect it to. I can
enter code as in any scratch buffer, but there is no formatting as I would have
expected to take place.
When writing c-sources in C-mode, I get
for (i=1;i<100;i++)
{
   somefunction();
}

automatically. somefunction() will (according to my experiences) always
be justified some characters off the left border. In contrast, when doing
similar things in awk - mode, I even cannot enter blank space in front of
somefunction(). Nor do I see any colorization.
Is there anybody being able to tell me what I am doing wrong? I would like to
have some c-like justification, some syntax highlighting. Maybe I simply miss a
pointer to the FAQ, anyway, your help is greatly appreciated!

Many thanks for your support in advance,
take care

if you really want to see the pictures above - use some font
