   I leave initial-major-mode set to lisp-interaction-mode, so *scratch* is
   my Emacs Lisp buffer.  And I've got this in my ~/.emacs:

   (with-current-buffer (get-buffer-create "*Text*")
      (text-mode))

   (with-current-buffer (get-buffer-create "*SQL*")
      (sql-mode))

Great idea Rogers (and so simple). For Ian, if you use SLIME, you
will have access to a "lispified" *scratch* like buffer.
