Thanks -- I'm using XEmacs, though (sorry for not making that clearer
earlier -- my mistake), and the directory structure seems different -- it's
clearly not finding the mode file -- when I open a .rb file, the mode line
says "Ruby", but I'm not getting any syntax coloring or indent or anything.

I appreciate the help.

Noel
