creating customized major mode - emacs 23.4.1

[Janssen, Kurt H.]

I am attempting to create a major mode for simple syntax highlighting.

I have created the attached disco-mode.el file and and put (load "~/.emacs.d/disco-mode.el") in my init.el file.

I have text files whose first line is,

 -*- dicso -*-

but I do not get any text highlighting (sample txt file attached)?

 

I am running Redhat 5.2 and using the following version of emacs,

 

GNU Emacs 23.4.1 (x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu, Motif Version 2.3.0)

 

Any help would be appreciated.

 

thanks
