I haven't been able to figure this one out (maybe has to do with my non-
knowledge of lisp):

I need to modify the variable auto-mode-alist to include some new file
specifications that will automatically call up certain modes.  In other
words, how do you add a list item to a emacs lisp variable?  (probably to
be done in my .emacs file).

Thanks.
