I am running GNU emacs version 18.52 on a VAX running VMS 5.0.  Emacs
always seems to come up in Fortran mode when the file extent is "f" or
"for".  I don't like some of the features of the GNU fortran mode and
would prefer that the editor come up in text mode.  Could someone offer
a suggestion as to how to prevent GNU emacs from automatically entering
Fortran mode.  (I usually type "<ESC>text" to enter text mode, but I 
would like to avoid always having to do this.)  Thanks to all who
reply.

Please reply directly to me if possible, as I don't often get the chance to
