If `custom-file' were loaded like so: (load "custom.el") that would be bad. On this XEmacs: "XEmacs 21.5 (beta7) "broccoflower" [Lucid] (i686-pc-linux, Mule) of Tue Jul 16 2002 on bundalo"* (expand-file-name "~/.xemacs/") isn't in `load-path'. Neal, did you add "~/.xemacs/" to `load-path'? * I think 21.4's machinery for handling ~/.xemacs/{custom,init}.el differs from 21.5, right? -- John Paul Wallington
