You could enter the above just as (add-hook 'lisp-mode-hook 'show-paren-mode) but it would be equally wrong: it _toggles_ show-paren-mode every time the lisp mode hook gets executed. So please rather write (add-hook 'lisp-mode-hook (lambda() (show-paren-mode 1))) -- David Kastrup, Kriemhildstr. 15, 44793 Bochum
