Thanks, but doing that had no effect. Opening ~/.balance.bal still
requires repeating the C-x C-f command, and trying it as a bookmark
still hangs emacs.
But what is interesting is that if I comment the stanza and restart
emacs and then open .balance.bal with the duplicate command, emacs puts
itself into the balance-mode. So the stanza appears to be superfluous.
If I comment the stanza, the problem persists. If I start emacs with no
configuration, there is no problem opening ~.balance.bal but emacs is
not put into the balance mode. I don't understand how emacs knows to
move to the balance mode when a .bal file is opened without the stanza.
