It really improved my editing experience (not quite as much as M-/, but it's really useful). Basically when I'm in a .c file and hit C-c C-o, I get switched into its corresponding .h file (and vice-versa). Also, if the line I am on looks like "#include ...", it switches to that file. I can give it a list of directories where to look for .h files. It is almost indispensible on large multi-library projects. > Which package should it go into?

These dependencies of efs, and Mule probably as well, are the ones that made me talk about "packages that should be dumped with XEmacs" - I see that my passage is incorrect, but I think these packages that need to be installed first-hand should be mentioned in this document. >> *5. Using Packages from Emacs Lisp >> ================================== AP> I don't know what this means. I think you should delete it. The headline may be a bit misleading. I am concerned with using M-x package* functions and setting some of the variables. For example, I tried to use ; 21.X introduces packages. Koblenz is my nearest mirror. (require 'package-get) (setq package-get-remote (pushnew (list "ftp.fh-koblenz.de" (concat "pub/Mirror/ftp.xemacs.org/" "pub/xemacs/beta/xemacs-21.0/" "packages/binary-packages/")) package-get-remote)) So, things like this should be explained here (or somewhere in the info files at last). BTW: In 21.0 \"Zhong Wei\" XEmacs Lucid and the corresponding package-*.els I had trouble updating my packages. For example, for w3 I had 1.06 installed, but the oldest version that could be found on ftp.xemacs.org was 1.07, so package-get-update-all failed complaining that it couldn't find w3-1.06. I'm currently updating to b50 and package-get-base-pre8. Holger -- --- http://www.coling.uni-freiburg.de/~schauer --- "CL enhances the productivity of programmers. Scheme, to me, is manual *work*.

I'm amenable to adding find-file.el to XEmacs. Has anyone used it before? Which package should it go into?

The current instancing mechanism has no idea of where the image will be placed, so while I can place the pixmap behind the image, I have no way of making sure that the tiling of the background image will match where the image will finally get placed. I'll look into fixing it for 21.1, but I think that creating proper alpha support for overlaying glyphs, etc onto other things is about the only way we can get that. That will allow a lot of cool things, but will take quite a bit of work on modifying redisplay and also won't function on colormapped consoles. Passing in the target x,y coords will also fix the problem, but that means each instance of an image is potentally unique and defeats the cache mechanism. I suppose we could extend the glyph structure to contain a bit on whether or not the instance is unique (if is uses the passed in position info, perhaps)... I'll think about it. -- Jareth Hein | jareth(a)camelot.co.jp | ハインジェラス Toolsmith & Program lead | http://www.camelot.co.jp | 開発部チーフ Camelot Software, Ltd. | |（株）キャメロット "It's a sad sign of the times when 'political machine' is redefined to include 'main-line battle tank'" - Ambassador Grossblunder
