Thanks,

One last question, I am using Xemacs to auto format the code
for me, I have discovered the sql-postgres but that is only
in the postgres(psql) window not in the where I edit my code
window. I get this in lisp by using M-x load-library then ilisp
ams perl,tcl, C take care of them selves.

Thanks again,
