	Hello!  I tried to append the new stuff to the auto-mode-alist
by putting the following line to my .emacs file.

(append 'auto-mode-alist '(("\\.F$" . fortran-mode)
			   ("\\.for$" . fortran-mode)
			   ("\\.txt$" . text-mode)))

	But in fact, this didn't work.  Of course, it's possible to put
these lists in the loaddefs.el files, but I would like to do this personally.
Could  anyone out there give me suggestion/advise?

	Thanks in advance!
