Actually, I was surprised to find that adding this to
my .emacs file didn't have any affect.  If I replaced
the setf with a call to message( ) it similarly was
not being exectued when I visited a .grammar file. 
I'm running emacs 21.3.1 on Redhat Linux.  This seems
simple enough.  Any thoughts?  Thanks.
