On our EMACS version 18.52.24, you can just use the following: (setq host (system-name)) (setq default-mode-line-format (quote (" " host " -%*- " "%b " global-mode-string mode-line-time-string " [" (-3 . "%p") "]" " %[(" mode-name minor-mode-alist mode-line-process ") %]"))) ___________________________________________________________ """""""""" / \ | @ @ | | Andrew "Fuz" Lih Columbia University Center | < > > ___/ Academic Computing for Computing Activities | \ \__/ / <___ / \____/ \ lih@cunixc.cc.columbia.edu AJLUS@CUVMB.BITNET / \ lih@cs.columbia.edu ...rutgers!columbia!cunixc!lih | \__________________________________________________________/
