What do I need to do, to let the mode work? Most probably you don't have .emacs file now. I think the best way you can go is to create one. See the manual (C-h i): "58.6.4 How Emacs Finds Your Init File" --> you should have a "home" env.variable in MS Windows and put your .emacs there. Then try adding (load "your-mode-file") to it... (See also Chapter 58.6 The Init File, `~/.emacs') I don't know how USB drive affects this. Have you searched this newsgroup? As I remember there was some discussion about it a few months ago?? \bye P
