Have a look at lisp/generic.el and lisp/generic-x.el. The first
defines the function define-generic-mode (see also C-h f
define-generic-mode), the other uses that for a number of simple
modes that you can use as examples.

You can define a generic mode in your ~/.emacs. If things get larger
or you want to use code from other sources, you can always create your
own elisp directory in your home and add that to your load-path
variable in ~/.emacs.
Hope this helps, benny
