I'm a new user of gnuemacs, and I'm very much sold on it as a powerful
addition to my set of software development tools.  But I'd like to add
a simple (at least in my mind) customization to my .emacs file, but I
don't know LISP well enough to attempt it.  I would like to add
another file type to the auto-mode-alist variable that invokes the
text-mode, but I can't seem to get the syntax right.

Any help in this area would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks.
