IDLWAVE is distributed with GNU Emacs. I don't know about the
pedigree of that emacs-snapshot, but I expect if it's an Emacs 22, you
shouldn't need to do anything, and '.pro' support should be ready to
go "out of the box", IDLWAVE included. This is certainly true of any
recent Emacs 22 pre-release snapshots. Again, you shouldn't need this,
but make sure you've got:
(setq auto-mode-alist (cons '("\\.pro\\'" . idlwave-mode) auto-mode-alist))
in your .emacs. Does M-x idlwave-mode get you into the mode
correctly? What version does it report?
