Well, it's true what you say. I can delete all of the defaults and  
do: mate /tmp/test.css.php from the command line, and it will open up  
the file as CSS. However, afterwards if I do: mate /tmp/test.php, it  
will open up as HTML! So then, when I manually change that one back  
to php, the mate /tmp/test.css.php will open up as php! I don't think  
TM has the support for double extensions, but it would be nice in  
this instance.

By the way Allan, I love the editor. Thanks for your help and keep up  
the great work.
