Hi, it's my first post to the list so i want to salute everyone. And here is my question, i'm trying to make freepascal working under emacs in linux debian. But i have no quote about that, i could have my sintax colored using Options/Syntax Highlighting, but the thing is that i want emacs to recognice my .pas files and syntax highlight them, and also want to compile and make directly from emacs like it's done in other language modes. I don't know if this can help but when i try to compile a make command appears in the low buffer. Thanks in advance. Jacobo García Lopez de Araujo.

Add (add-hook 'pascal-mode-hook (lambda () (set (make-local-variable 'compile-command) (concat "fpc " (file-name-nondirectory (buffer-file-name))) ) ) t) to your ~/.emacs file to tell Emacs that when you use "compile" function in Pascal mode it should propose you command-line like "fpc foo.pas". You may want to adjust this Elisp code in many ways -- look for documentation for all these functions and variables (like compile-command or auto-mode-alist) in Emacs using "C-h f" and "C-h v".
