[Matlab-emacs-discuss] getting started

[Matt M <jun...@gm...>]

Greetings.  I do not know what I'm doing!  I'm just down with Emacs and have
to use Matlab (FreeMat actually) so I would like to be able to edit ".m"
files in Emacs with

   - Syntax highlighting
   - Smart Indentation engine
   - Smart auto-fill for comments and code

I am running Ubuntu.  I installed CVS, then sequentially executed the
following two commands in terminal:

"cvs -d:pserver:ano...@ma...:/cvsroot/matlab-emacs
login"

I amusing just the enter key when prompted for the password, then

"cvs -z3 -d:pserver:ano...@ma...:/cvsroot/matlab-emacs
co -P matlab-emacs"

A bunch of stuff happened in the terminal, i.e. text went scrolling by, so I
guessed it worked but I do not see any difference in Emacs when editing a
".m" file.  I even tried M-x matlab-mode in Emacs, but it said "[No match]".

So pretty much, I know not what I'm doing and hope I don't break my system,
and so would like your help in getting matlab mode working in Emacs.

Thanks!



Matt
