Subject: problem about auto adding newline at the end of file

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

My emacs does not behave as stated in the documentation,
http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/emacs/Customize-Save.html#Customize-Save
.

In the documentation, it is said that, if require-final-newline is set to
nil, no changes would be adapted to my files, leaving them not ended with
newline (0x0d0a).
My emacs, on the other hand, always adds newline at the end of file,
automatically, even when I add (setq-default require-final-newline nil); or
(setq require-final-newline nil);to .emacs. (I tried them both)

I don't know if it is a bug, or it is caused by my wrong operation. I'm
using Ubuntu 10.10, emacs 23.1.1

I cannot reproduce this in Emacs 23.1.  Please show a complete recipe,
starting with "emacs -Q", to reproduce this problem.

One possibility is that you see this in a file that turns a major mode
which uses mode-require-final-newline to set the buffer-local value of
require-final-newline.  In that case, you may wish to customize
mode-require-final-newline, or maybe reset require-final-newline in a
mode hook.

Dear sir/lady,
I have fixed my problem. It turned out to be no bug.
It was a major mode that use mode-require-final-newline. Thank you very much
for your instructions. I used almost one week to understand the instructions
(I was quite new to emacs).
Sorry if I wasted your time.
