Several novice questions

[Florian Lindner]

Hi,
I'm currently learning Emacs 21.2 with pascal-mode and freepascal.
I've set the compile-command variable in my .emacs

(add-hook 'pascal-mode-hook
          (lambda()
            (set (make-local-variable 'compile-command)
            (concat "fpc -Ci -Co -Cr -CR -Ct -So -Ss -g " 
buffer-file-name))))

And it's working with M-x compile. How can I bind this command to another 
key comba (C-c C-v for example)?
I've tried: (define-key pascal-mode-map "\C-c\C-v" 'compile)))) but is 
doesn't work. "File mode specification error: (wrong-number-of-arguments 
#<subr set> 3)"
How can I made the compile command saves the current buffer withouht asking?
How can I execute a external programm in a seperat buffer?
How can I create a command which first compiles (and saves) the current 
buffer and then execute the compiled program?
Thanks,
Florian

The problem isn't with your define-key call (although I would recommend using
a binding reserved for users, like `C-c v'), but with your hook function.  I 
suspect your .emacs file is different from what you have above: is there a
close parenthesis after the "fpc -Ci -Co -Cr -CR -Ct -So -Ss -g " string?

(add-hook 'pascal-mode-hook
          (lambda()
            (set (make-local-variable 'compile-command)
                 (concat "fpc -Ci -Co -Cr -CR -Ct -So -Ss -g " 
buffer-file-name))
            (define-key pascal-mode-map "\C-c\C-v" 'compile)))

Ok, you're right. It's working with that call now. There need to be 2 
parens, one for the concat, the other for the set.
Thanks!
Florian

Which binding a reserved for users?
Thx,

From the manual:

/----[ (emacs)Keymaps ]
|    As a user, you can redefine any key; but it is usually best to stick
| to key sequences that consist of `C-c' followed by a letter (upper or
| lower case).  These keys are "reserved for users," so they won't
| conflict with any properly designed Emacs extension.  The function keys
| <F5> through <F9> are also reserved for users.  If you redefine some
| other key, your definition may be overridden by certain extensions or
| major modes which redefine the same key.
