Thanks a lot JD!

The M-; trick does not work despite the addition of the "command-add"
parameter and that's why I am perplexed.

For anyone wanting to try it the define-key trick works great, though
it only indents if the cursor is not in column 1. Which I guess is how
idlwave indents comments in the first place. In case you're curious, I
use ;{{{ and ;}}} with folding.el to fold IDL code in emacs, pretty
nifty.

I realize this is an IDL forum and not an emacs forum but I will give
this a shot anyway...

I think the super-uber version of the define-key command above would
act slightly differently: it would insert the string "{{{", prepend the
relevant comment characters for the current mode and finally indent the
whole thing properly. Is *this* possible or am I just asking too much
of either xemacs or this fine community?

Many thanks,
Gianguido
