[OS X Emacs] ESS through Aquamacs

[Gregory Ryslik]

So after playing around with it some more I think I have found the problem:

It correctly highlights "proc mixed"  but does not highlight "Proc Mixed". As SAS is generally not case sensitive I tend to capitalize Procedures and Names to make it easier to read. Any way in getting aquamacs to recognize that?

Also, is there a way I can add the "SAS" mode directly to the Menu located in "New Buffer -> In Mode". 

Thanks again for all your help!

Kind regards,
Greg

My messages buffer is attached below. Maybe I don't know enough about EMACS but when i start the buffer in "R" mode I get my regular syntax highlighting.
