<P><A NAME="idx:GNUEmacs:78"></A><A NAME="idx:Emacs:79"></A>The default 
Prolog mode for GNU-Emacs can be activated by adding the following rules 
to your Emacs initialisation file:

<PRE class="code">
(setq auto-mode-alist
      (append
       '(("\\.pl" . prolog-mode))
       auto-mode-alist))
(setq prolog-program-name "swipl")
(setq prolog-consult-string "[user].\n")
;If you want this.  Indentation is either poor or I don't use
;it as intended.
;(setq prolog-indent-width 8)
</PRE>

There are several alternatives though:
