     Hi,
     
     relative to the installing of the emacs-lisp files, the documentation 
     says that you have to put some lines in the .emacs file to start 
     octave-mode when reading an .m file:
     
     (...)
     (setq auto-mode-alist
        (cons '(\"\\\\.m\" . octave-mode) auto-mode-alist)
     
     Obviously there has been some escapeing backslash, because that should 
     be:
     
     (setq auto-mode-alist
        (cons '("\\.m" . octave-mode) auto-mode-alist)
     
     Regards,
     
                        Peter
