Can anyone answer a question about modifying Gnuemacs' auto-mode-alist?
I'd like files with a .c suffix to cause c++-mode to be loaded and run,
and files with a .doc suffix to invoke nroff-mode. The Gnu manual
suggests that this can be done using E-lisp.

If I have to modify auto-mode-alist, how do I do this, either for me
alone, or for all users on my system (default.el??) ?

Thanks for the help,
