There is no variable `emacs'. You are right that describe-variable refers to the installation tree, but that is probably because it was loaded from there during dump-time, so the answer is correct in some sense.

You probably want to install the `sumo' packages at ftp://ftp.xemacs.org/pub/xemacs/packages. After installing them, you can either make symlinks to xemacs-packages from inside the installed tree, or, as I do, configure --package-path=/path/xemacs-packages Raman> 3) when running on a tty (dont know if it is true under X) Raman> Go to the scratch buffer, type some text, hit C-x h Raman> (mark-whole-buffer) and hit C-w --xemacs says "region is not Raman> active now" or some such. This does _not_ happen to me. You did try with `-q', right? First, get your xemacs packages properly installed. Then this problem may simply go away. If it does not, I will help to fix it. Martin
