Hm, putting
(autoload 'book-mode "bookmode" "" t)
(setq auto-mode-alist (cons '("\\.bk" . book-mode) auto-mode-alist))
in your .emacs file should work, but doesn't for me right now.
Putting 
(load "bookmode")
in your .emacs file will work, though.

Well, emacs and xemacs handle menus differently, so menus for xemacs
just weren't put in.  That'd be easy enough to fix. 
(Hm.  The maxima-mode.el that comes with maxima-5.6 doesn't have menu
support put in for GNU emacs, either.)
