Hi all,
I would like to insert in the mode line some information (for instance
a variable string like the name of current buffer) and update the
information for each opened buffer.
I read the info for mode-line-format but being a poor programmer I
still haven't found a good solution.
Thanks in advance,
Luca.

(setq mode-line-format
(cons "a constant string" mode-line-format))
(setq a-variable "a variable string")
(setq mode-line-format
(cons '(:eval a-variable) mode-line-format))

(setq mode-line-format (cdr mode-line-format))
