Can you be more specific?

Josh,
The two lines of code (the first line is a comment) are to be added to the .emacs
file which you will find (as a hidden file) in your root directory.
Look at your file and locate the first reference to `setq auto-mode-alist'. You
should be ok if you add the new lines anywhere after this first reference.
Just to check whether you have C++ mode - load any file into emacs then type `meta-x
(i.e. escape x) c++-mode' and hit return. This will put you into c++ mode. Emacs
will complain if hasn't got it. You won't see any formatting stuff (colours etc)
, however, until you do a ctrl-l.
Adding my code to your .emacs means that emacs will now treat any file with a .java
extension as a c++ file and allow automatic formatting and colouring (e.g. hitting
tab on any line of code will instantly indent the code correctly).
