Subject: syntax table entries for comments

Hi all,
First of, many thanks to those who answered my question about info for
major-mode writers. The mode tutorial on emacs wiki was most
enlightning. In fact it was so helpful, that I decided to completely
rewrite the major-mode for NetRexx. When it's done I'll post it in
gnu.emacs.sources.
But before that can happen, I'll need some clues. NetRexx is a
programming language that contains two types of comments. The first is
for large blocks and is the familiar /* */ construction. This I can do
by looking at the examples. The second one is a single-line comment that
consists of two hyphens, like:
-- this is a comment.
Based on the major mode tutorial I did put the following code in:
(defvar nrx-mode-syntax-table nil
"Syntax table in use in NRX-mode buffers.")
(defun nrx-create-syntax-table ()
(if nrx-mode-syntax-table
()
(setq nrx-mode-syntax-table (make-syntax-table))
(modify-syntax-entry ?. "." nrx-mode-syntax-table)
(modify-syntax-entry ?- ". 12b" nrx-mode-syntax-table)
(modify-syntax-entry ?/ ". 14" nrx-mode-syntax-table)
(modify-syntax-entry ?* ". 23" nrx-mode-syntax-table)
(modify-syntax-entry ?\n "> b" nrx-mode-syntax-table)
(modify-syntax-entry ?\' "\"" nrx-mode-syntax-table))
(set-syntax-table nrx-mode-syntax-table))
This works but also renders the combination -* and *- as comment start
and end, which is wrong. Could anyone please tell me what I'm missing?
TIA,
Arjan
