emacs fortran 90 model

[Seiichiro Tanizaki]

When I edit the fortran source code with the suffix .f90, the 
digit-argument command doesn't work for a certain character.  
Specifically, ESC n with "*" or "-" only repeat the character once, but 
not n times.  It works fine for other characters.  Would someone help me 
figuring out this? I use Emacs version 21.2.1 on linux.
Sincerely,
Seiichiro

That's a bug in f90.el, which will be fixed in future versions. In the
meantime, add the following to your .emacs to correct it:

(eval-after-load "f90"
  '(defun f90-electric-insert (&optional arg)
     "Change keyword case and auto-fill line as operators are inserted."
     (interactive "*p")
     (self-insert-command arg)
     (if auto-fill-function (f90-do-auto-fill)
       (f90-update-line))))

If you type C-h c <char> you normally see self-insert-command.
I'll bet those characters map to something else for some reason.
If you don't regularly use prefix args that way yourself it's
easy to forget to add support for them when writing a function.
It's something you must explicitly code for.  It's likely the
function(s) currently being called for those keys don't have
such support.
