Re: defining my own newline function

["Ryan Krauss" <ryanlists@gmail.com>]

Sorry, I meant to cc the list as well.

I can't  make 'M-: (current-local-mode)' do anything.  I assume you
want me to press Alt-Shift-: (the shift is needed to make a colon
rather than a semi-colon?).  When I do that, I prompted with
Eval:

so, I typed
(current-local-mode)

there and I get

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (void-function current-local-mode)
 (current-local-mode)
 eval((current-local-mode))
 eval-expression((current-local-mode) nil)
 call-interactively(eval-expression)


But the info line lists my major mode as the one being run.  The
syntax highlighting is what I have defined, and my indent function is
being used.  My local key map is also available, with an outdent
function bound to backtab.  These keys don't work if I create a .txt
file where my mode isn't running.  So, I think my mode is running and
my local key map is happening with other keys.
