[Zope] Emacs, ange-ftp, zope ftp serv, auto mode loading and font-lock-mode

[Jason Earl]

I really liked your solution to this problem, and so I did some more
checking and I think that I have found out the cause of the problem,
it's not a Zope problem after all, but rather an Emacs regular
expression problem.  Instead of:

(setq auto-mode-alist
=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0 (cons '("\\_html$" . html-mode) auto-mode-alist))

Try instead:

(setq auto-mode-alist
=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0 (cons '("_html$" . html-mode) auto-mode-alist))

The two '\' characters are just there to escape the next character
(which in most of the auto-mode-alist is the special '.' character).

With this small modification I was able to get Emacs to do the "right
thing" in Zope without having to put comments in each file.  I was
able to open foo_py, foo_html, and foo_sql in python-mode, html-mode,
and sql-mode respectively.  This made me very happy.

I also learned a bit more about Emacs, and that is always handy.

Thanks,
Jason
