newbie question: How do I make emacs load my own mode? |

Hello,
I have a major mode file (optisim.el) with syntax highlighting, extra menu
options and all that, and would like to use it in emacs.
Last week I just put the .el file into my /emacs/lisp folder, and could then
enter "M-x optisim-mode" to enable this mode.
However, today I played around with my .emacs configuration file, and for
some reason the above command does not work any more. :confused:
The file optisim.el is still in the /emacs/lisp directory, but when I enter
"M-x optisim-mode", emacs says "[No Match]".
This is my .emacs file:
=====================
; tabulator
(setq default-tab-width 3)
; match parenthesis
(show-paren-mode t)
;; scrolling
; scroll 1 line
(setq scroll-step 1)
; scroll when 2 lines from top/bottom
(setq scroll-margin 2)
;; Optisim mode
;(setq auto-mode-alist (cons '("\\.optisim$" . optisim-mode)
auto-mode-alist))
;(autoload 'optisim-mode "optisim-mode" "Optisim editing mode." t)
(custom-set-variables
;; custom-set-variables was added by Custom.
;; If you edit it by hand, you could mess it up, so be careful.
;; Your init file should contain only one such instance.
;; If there is more than one, they won't work right.
'(mouse-wheel-scroll-amount (quote (2 ((shift) . 1) ((control)))))
'(pc-selection-mode t nil (pc-select))
'(transient-mark-mode nil))
(custom-set-faces
;; custom-set-faces was added by Custom.
;; If you edit it by hand, you could mess it up, so be careful.
;; Your init file should contain only one such instance.
;; If there is more than one, they won't work right.
)
=====================
I'm really confused, I have no idea why the original command to load my
optisim mode does not work any more. None of the stuff I put into my .emacs
file should affect the loading of mode file, should it? The emacs help was
of no use to me.
Do I have to add a command to explicitly load my optisim.el mode file?
I'd be very grateful if some of the more experienced users could help me
here... many thanks in advance!
