In particular, attached patch based in above suggestion seems to work here. > Incidentally, the "foo.gp" can clash with pari-gp scripts called ".gp". > I've used and seen occasionally ".gnuplot". Maybe it'd be worth adding > that to auto-mode-alist as well. For the records I have also used and occasionally seen ".gpt". Do not know if this can clash with other known extensions. In any case, ".gnuplot" seems a good candidate for addition. Regards, -- Agustin
