Did you re-read the .emacs file after you edited it. E.g., restart emacs, or point to the end of the statement and C-x C-e (C-x C-e runs the command eval-last-sexp).
The extra quotes might work, but mine looks like: (setq auto-mode-alist (append '( ("\\.[Ss]$" . asm-mode) ("\\.68k$" . asm-mode) ("\\.inc$" . asm-mode) ("\\.[bB][aA][tT]$" . bat-mode) ("\\.x$" . c-mode) ) auto-mode-alist)) [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: > > I went through the code in the .emacs file and tried to add .pc file > extensions to the auto-mode-alist, but it still doesn't color my .pc > (Pro*C) > files when I bring them up.
