Whilst I have written some minor modes which I enable using 
add-hook,  I am not confident how I can call the minor-mode
using something similar to (abbrev-mode), e.g.  (toromona-mode).

Currently I have

  (add-hook 'prog-mode-hook    'toromona-minor-mode) 
  (add-hook 'texinfo-mode-hook 'toromona-minor-mode)
