is correct and does what you want.


;;; when you enter the mode, zmacs magically executes these.
;;; Well there is a way to clear mode forms (as far as I know undocmumented).  If
;;; you change the :mode-forms method, do
;;; (SEND (MODE-OF-FLAVOR 'GYPSY-MODE) :CLEAR-MODE-FORMS-CACHE).
(DEFMETHOD (:MODE-FORMS GYPSY-MODE) ()
  '((SET-CHAR-SYNTAX WORD-ALPHABETIC *MODE-WORD-SYNTAX-TABLE* #/_) ;; these are required for forward-word.
    (SET-CHAR-SYNTAX WORD-ALPHABETIC *MODE-WORD-SYNTAX-TABLE* #/') ;; word-table as opposed to list-table.
    (SET-SYNTAX-TABLE-INDIRECTION *MODE-LIST-SYNTAX-TABLE* *GYPSY-MODE-LIST-SYNTAX-TABLE*)
    (SET-COMTAB *MODE-COMTAB*
		'(#\TAB COM-GYPSY-INDENT
		  #\c-m-B COM-GYPSY-BACKWARD-EXPR
                  ...
