Here's the relevant snippet from my .emacs:

;; auto-mode-alist is the association-list that tells Emacs
;; how to determine the right mode based on the file-extension
;; This example identifies .pas, .inc, .pai and .p files as Pascal files
(setq auto-mode-alist
  (append auto-mode-alist
    '(("\\.pas$" . pas-mode)
      ("\\.inc$" . pas-mode)
      ("\\.pai$" . pas-mode)
      ("\\.p$" . pas-mode)) ))

;; This tells Emacs where to go to find the pas-mode code.
;; Emacs automatically looks for a pas-mode.elc, then a .el file
(autoload 'pas-mode "/user/mosurm/code/emacs/pas-mode"
  "This is a mode intended to support program development in Pascal.
Control-C is the prefix to reach functions special to pas-mode." t)
