bug#69934:

[Robert Boyer]

Thanks for your very kind reply.

I will use help-gnu-emacs in the future for such pleas for help.

I do understand your suggestion to use the end of file stuff.  I use

it all the time.  

However, in my one particular case I have a huge file

that is growing at the end and I love to watch it with 'tail' mode

and line numbers.  

Thanks,

Bob

Such requests for help should be posted to help-gnu-emacs@gnu.org, not
here.

To answer your question: it is better to use the file-local variables
section at the end of the file if you have more than one file-local
setting.  See the node "Specifying File Variables" in the Emacs user
manual for a detailed description.
