I'm glad to contribute a native speaker's touch, but I'm afraid that I don't see what's wrong with it. Looking at the code, it does seem that it invokes that hook ("fortran-unload-hook" for (unload-feature 'fortran)) if it exists, or else goes hunting for non-autoloaded functions defined by the package that are on -hook/etc. variables or on `auto-mode-alist'. Am I misreading the same way that you have done? Davis -- This product is sold by volume, not by mass.
