xemacs probably relies on file extension to decide the mode. Just rename your scripts and add a .py extension (not a good idea, since . is meaningful for python)
When I have created scripts in the web interface I have just accepted the defaults, and so I presume that the scripts are buried in the ZDB, rather than being actual files. Should I give them actual filenames when I create them?
or add something like (not tested):
# Local Variables: # mode:python # End:
Thanks, magic! That works. Now if I can fix the file type problem.... Dave -- Dave Whiteley d.l.whiteley@ee.leeds.ac.uk Phone +44 (0)113 343 2059 School of Electronic and Electrical Engineering The University of Leeds. Leeds, LS2 9JT, UK

You need to persuade Xemacs not to create backup files. In "standard" mode, when you go to save the file, it does something like: - rename the original, giving it a backup suffix - Writes the new file, giving it the original name - (maybe) delete the renamed original That second step is where the DTMDocument is being created. If you can't find a solution to that problem, then you could add an ExternalMethod named 'PUT_factory', and take over control of the choice of object type being created yourself.

I use the "efs" XEmacs package for FTP access. This package can be told not to create backup files by customizing "efs-make-backup-files". -- Dieter
