Does it have to be switched on? If a mode does neither
coloring nor indentation, then what does it do?

I don't have python-mode or caml-mode, but I'm using GNU.
Video games and the "Emacs Psychiatrist", but RMS/GNU couldn't fit
in important language editing modes, or make sure the modes work.

lisp-mode colors are working now that I moved my .cl file to .l
No indentation anywhere though.

Thanks for the help.
