====== Using emacs with z80asm ======

First off, I want to state **I am not a lisp podgammer**((yeah, I know ain't spelled //that// way.))

OK, now that that is out of the way, this is what I added to my .emacs when I started using ''z80asm'' to work with z80 assembly code.  It adds ASM to the list of extensions that will put you into asm-mode for editing assembly code and defines the compile command the way I wanted it.  If there is a better way to do these tasks please let me know.
