I see. I guess I'll have to change them all.

It's only in emacs 23, isn't it?  I'm using 22.3.1.  I'll see if I can  
install 23 before asking that list.

I think I have auto-mode-alist instead of magic-mode-alist.  I don't  
know much about elisp.  How do I print the value?  My .emacs file  
contains this:

(setq auto-mode-alist
       (cons '("\\.\\(xml\\|xsl\\|rng\\|xhtml\\)\\'" . nxml-mode)
             auto-mode-alist))

Thanks again,
       Steve
