Uncompress the file ampl-mode20.tar.gz in the directory of your
choice. It should contain the files

	ampl-mode20.el
	install20

You are currently viewing the file install20. To fix the ideas, let us
assume that you uncompressed the archive in the directory
/home/yourhome.

Open the file ampl-mode20.el in Emacs and say
     [ALT] X
(keep the [ALT] key pressed down and press X). Then, in the
mini-buffer, type "byte-compile-file" and press Return. If Emacs asks
you for a filename, type "ampl-mode20.el". This should create a file
called ampl-mode20.elc in the same directory.

Open your Emacs configuration file. It is usually called .emacs,
.gnu-emacs, .gnu-emacs-custom, or similar, and is usually located in
your home directory. Paste the following

(setq load-path (cons "/home/you" load-path))
;; Ampl mode
(setq auto-mode-alist
      (cons '("\\.mod$" . ampl-mode) auto-mode-alist))
(setq auto-mode-alist
      (cons '("\\.dat$" . ampl-mode) auto-mode-alist))
(setq auto-mode-alist
      (cons '("\\.ampl$" . ampl-mode) auto-mode-alist))
(setq interpreter-mode-alist
      (cons '("ampl" . ampl-mode)
            interpreter-mode-alist))

(autoload 'ampl-mode "ampl-mode20" "Ampl editing mode." t)


Now exit Emacs, and restart it. You should have access to syntax
highlighting and basic indentation when opening Ampl models and data
files whose name ends in .mod, .dat or .ampl.

Enjoy.
