To begin using this mode for all `.m' files that you edit, add the following lines to your `.emacs' file: (autoload 'octave-mode \"octave-mod\" nil t) (setq auto-mode-alist (cons '(\"\\\\.m$\" . octave-mode) auto-mode-alist))However, both of the those commands seemed to cause errors in emacs. I could leave out the first line, and the Fedora setup already declares "octave-mode". However, the documentation should probably be changed to something that works if it is present in .emacs. (What that would be, I have no idea. You might look in the lisp file /usr/local/share/emacs/site-lisp/loaddefs.el.)
I included from the loaddefs.el file the syntax (without the long-long-long comment):
(autoload (quote octave-mode) "/usr/share/emacs/21.3/lisp/octave-mod" "" t nil)
in my .init.el xemacs file. So, apparently that works and I'm now a happy camper again. (I just put the full path in for the file because I got tired of looking for answers.)
