conditional inclusion

[RAVI AYYALASOMAYAJULA]

I have several emacs lisp files such as makefilemode.el, csh-mode.el
c-comment.el in my load path. However, I face the following problem
right now.

Everytime I invoke emacs it first loads all the files that are in my
load path (unconditionally) and then makes the editor ready for use.

What I would like to do is I want only the files that are relevant
to that particular major mode need be included. For instance, if I
invoke gnus from the commandline, I want all the gnus related elisp
be included and the rest such as c-comment.el files be ignored. similarly
if I invoke emacs with c file as the commandline argument it should
include all the c related emacs lisp files only.

I am sure gurus out there must have already done this. I would appreciate
if someone can mail me his/her .emacs file or the solution as to how to
do it.

Thank you very much.

Ravi

Use autoload. For example:

(autoload 'ispell-word "ispell" "Check the spelling of word in buffer." t)
(autoload 'ispell-buffer "ispell" "Check the spelling of buffer." t)

instead of:

(load "ispell" nil t nil)
