How can I get the environment to be set up (.profile etc to be

Please respond through e-mail.

Hi. I'm trying to change the fortran-continuation-char to "+" instead
of "$", but when I try putting this in my .emacs I have problems:

(setq fortran-continuation-char "+")

I'm new at elisp programming, can someone help me? When I eval the
buffer then go back to the fortran buffer to try it it inserts the LF
and the +, but the spacing is wrong, and I get hte error message:

Wrong type argument: integerp, "+"

What am I doing wrong?

Hello everyone,

How does one go about specifying auto-fill mode as the default in
the .emacs file?  I tried:

(auto-fill)

but it doen't work.  Sorry if this is a FAQ.

Subject: 132/43 column display on SVGA dialing into a NeXT via PC Kermit
Date: 16 Oct 92 22:47:30 GMT

I would like to put my  PC to its proper use---dialing  into a NeXT Release
3.0PR2. I have a nice Trident SVGA card on the PC (which is nice as long as
I do not use  inverse  video; I wonder what   makes NeXT inverse   video so
pleasant  and  my  70Hz  monochrome   "Standard    Tech"  VGA   monitor  so
unpleasant.).  This  SVGA card/monitor combination can display  a 132 cols,
43 row format without a problem.

Here is what I have done so far: On IBM-PC Kermit version 3.11, once I tell
PC Kermit that it  should  be in 132  column mode (set ter width  132), and
once I issue "stty rows 40 columns 132" on  my NeXT, it almost works. emacs
starts up beautifully with a large screen (modeline  on line 39, stretching
for 132 columns).  However, further refreshes or editing is all screwed up.
Something remains special about the 25th line on the screen, which can be
verified by simply doing C-N until the 25th line is hit.

I do  not  know what  is  at  fault:  the  PC  card,  the terminal emulator
(Kermit),  the  termcap stuff  on  my NeXT, or  emacs  itself. Before I try
tracking  down   what the   problem is, has   anyone  succeeded    in using
132-column/43-row format on dial-in?

/ivo welch

PS: I  have looked for this in  the FAQ sheet, but  could not find anything
relating to 132 column display mode. I then  tried xinfo, but could not see
anything in the emacs directory that points towards what I need (and I have
yet to figure out how to do a global search in xinfo!).

I have never come across this (lots of garbage collecting).  You do need to

Once the FTP process is up and running, ange-ftp runs at a reasonable lick.

ange-ftp supports the tree dired "M" command provided:

Summary: AAAAAAARRRGGGHHH!
Organization: University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign
Date: Thu, 15 Oct 1992 21:19:35 GMT

	I'm learning to like Emacs (Yet Another Vi Convert :-) ), but I'm
having trouble getting GDB to act like a source-level debugger with it.
I compile the program with "g++ -g hello.cc -o hello"; then I do this (this is
from memory, so I may not get this exactly right):

	1. emacs hello.cc (I've also tried just "emacs" with no arguments)
	2. M-x gdb RET hello

	Emacs loads gdb with "hello" and I get the GDB disclaimer and prompt.
From this point, I *can* use the Run command to get GDB to zip through the
code, producing the output I expect. However, it does *not* show the source
file with an arrow pointing to the current line and all that, as the
documentation leads me to believe it is supposed to.

	What's worse, I can't get GDB to single-step through the program
(whether in Emacs or not). When I use "step," "stepi," "next," or "nexti,"
GDB only responds "Program not running" (or words to that effect).

	Please help. Oh, please, please, please, please, please ....

2) How can you append variables?
i.e. How can I get a variable to contain both of the bellow?

  a) (setq mail-setup-hook                 
      '(lambda ()
	 (sc-overload-functions)))

  b) (setq mail-setup-hook '(lambda () (require 'mail-abbrevs)))

Here is my edit-variable, which does.  Typing C-h in the minibuffer when

set-variable (that's where I pinched the code from!)

I think that is covered by the supercite package, which is supposed to
take care of citing, using a variety of startegies for citing. I
haven't used it much myself, but it seemed rather promising.

Supercite is excellent. This was all cited by an under-configured

Yup, supercite is what you want. It does all the extracting of author
names automatically, plus it provides "header rewrite functions" which
put in the attribution line(s) (the "CL" == ... line above).  Version
2.2 is the current release and is available from the elisp archive:

How about one more feature (this wouldn't be too hard, given the number of
impressive enhancements you have made)?

When I hit M-x ., I get a (defualt : <tag word blah>): etc. Instead, is it
possible to put it into the minibuffer for editing? This will help if I have
several procs with the similar names but differ in a few characters. Then the 
default can be edited to get the tag I want searched.
