Of course, there is an icon.el major-mode in existence, but it's lame as all hell! I'm looking for something with _everything_ but birth control! :)

Hm. I use the icon.el major mode. I've been happy with it, but maybe
I don't know what I'm missing.

"Major mode for editing Icon code.
Expression and list commands understand all Icon brackets.
Tab indents for Icon code.
Paragraphs are separated by blank lines only.
Delete converts tabs to spaces as it moves back.
\\{icon-mode-map}
Variables controlling indentation style:
icon-tab-always-indent
Non-nil means TAB in Icon mode should always reindent the current line,
regardless of where in the line point is when the TAB command is used.
icon-auto-newline
Non-nil means automatically newline before and after braces
inserted in Icon code.
icon-indent-level
Indentation of Icon statements within surrounding block.
The surrounding block's indentation is the indentation
of the line on which the open-brace appears.
icon-continued-statement-offset
Extra indentation given to a substatement, such as the
then-clause of an if or body of a while.
icon-continued-brace-offset
Extra indentation given to a brace that starts a substatement.
This is in addition to `icon-continued-statement-offset'.
icon-brace-offset
Extra indentation for line if it starts with an open brace.
icon-brace-imaginary-offset
An open brace following other text is treated as if it were
this far to the right of the start of its line.
Turning on Icon mode calls the value of the variable `icon-mode-hook'
with no args, if that value is non-nil."

For sure, that is not the same major mode that I currently ships with GNU Emacs! Maybe you or I or someone of authority should contact the emacs folks and the Icon major mode that they ship? BTW, are you using this on a *nix box?
Anyway, I need to impose on you again! I need to see what you have in your .emacs to get the Icon major-mode to do its thing. Is this anywhere near what you have in yours?
[code]
(setq load-path (append load-path '("~/.emacs.d/site-lisp/")))
(autoload 'icon-mode "icon")
;; Define the mode for .icn files
(setq auto-mode-alist (cons '("\\.icn\\'" . icon-mode) auto-mode-alist))
[/code]

Really? Which version of Emacs are you using?
Yes, I'm using it on Unix -- PCBSD 8.1, which is an offshoot of
FreeBSD.

I didn't put any of that in my .emacs. Poking around, it seems to be
taken care of in
/Programs/Emacs/share/emacs/24.0.50/lisp/files.el
which (among many other things) defines automatic major modes for
common filename extensions including .icn for icon. Then the major
mode autoloads.
Hope this helps,

GNU Emacs 23.1.1 (i686-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 2.22.0) of 2011-03-04 on roseapple, modified by Debian

I'm also running PCBSD on another partition. I wish that it would ship without KDE though. Ran FreeBSD for a long time. :)

It does! and I just learned about files.el. :) I'll comment out the Icon stuff in my .emacs, and see how it goes. Many thanks!

It just might be that the icon major mode that ships with GNU Emacs is the same as you posted. I can't tell for sure because it's a byte-compiled "elc" file. However, judging from the mode's behavior, and the menu that appears when I do a:
M-` then i is:
Possible completions are:
i==>Indent Line --- Line Indent Region
---Comment Out Region e==>End of function
b==>Beginning of function
Is that what you get? This appears to be all the functionality that this huge major-mode provides, unless I'm seriously missing the bulk of what it can do. Can you shed some more light on the mode's capabiities, please? Obliged as always!

In the same lisp directory with the .elc file there should be a .el.gz
file with the source elisp compressed. Uncompress it with "gunzip" or
read it with "zcat".

A lot of the code is defining icon syntax, so autoindent and syntax
highlighting and moving forward and backwards by functions works. I
don't use more than that very much. It's documented in the source.
Even if for some reason your linux distribution didn't include the
compressed source files, you can read it from my posting yesterday.
What all do you want in an editing mode?

auto-completion of keywords, etc. Auto-indentation, just to name a few.

Well, it does indentation. I don't think it auto-completes keywords,
but I might not have noticed. It sounds like it would annoy me more
than help me, but ymmv.

Does it auto-indent a procedures body of code automatically, or do you have to use the menu/command?
