You can add new modes by adding this to your .emacs file:

    (setq auto-mode-alist (cons '("\\.foo$" . foo-mode) auto-mode-alist))

This will put all files ending in the '.foo' extension into foo-mode.

Alternately, you may put the above line into the file
~emacs/lisp/site-load.el (and re-make emacs) if you want to make it a
system-wide default.
