To change the case sensitivity just for one major mode, use the major
mode's hook.  For example:

@lisp
(add-hook 'XXX-mode-hook
      (function
       (lambda ()
         (setq case-fold-search nil))))
@end lisp

To avoid seeing backup files (and other "uninteresting" files) in Dired,
load dired-x by adding the following to your @file{.emacs} file:

@lisp
(add-hook 'dired-load-hook
          (function (lambda ()
                      (load "dired-x"))))
@end lisp

With dired-x loaded, @kbd{M-o} toggles omitting in each dired buffer.
You can make omitting the default for new dired buffers by putting the
following in your @file{.emacs}:

local, the command is used in conjunction with the "add-hook" command.
For example, in tex-mode, a local binding might be

@lisp
(add-hook 'tex-mode-hook
  (function (lambda ()
    (local-set-key (quote [f1]) (quote help-for-help)))))
@end lisp


@itemize @bullet

window-system setup, treat the code as a "lambda list" and set the value
of either the @code{term-setup-hook} or @code{window-setup-hook}
variable to this "lambda function."  For example,

@lisp
(setq term-setup-hook
      (function
       (lambda ()
         (cond ((string-match "\\`vt220" (or (getenv "TERM") ""))
                ;; Make vt220's "Do" key behave like M-x:
                (global-set-key [do] 'execute-extended-command))
               ))))
@end lisp
