blue today

wasted Quite a bit of time today trying to track down a problem (which I still haven't found). This is not a bitch but I will try to collate information so that the next person installing a Windows 32 version will have an easier time at it. I think the problems I'm experiencing come simply from the inability for X. Emacs to find certain files. For example, HOME was not defined. So I defined it in the Windows environment and think still in work right. For example in the shell c:\Windows\system32>echo %HOME% echo %HOME% \Users\esj\My Documents\ Home has been set but not used properly when invoking the shell and in the *Scratch* buffer: (expand-file-name "~") "c:\\Windows\\system32\\Users\\esj\\My Documents\\" All the other problem but having smell like something similar, that I'm missing various pathnames. I did finally find the note about mingw executables for all these subordinate tools like grep as well is libraries for image management. Where can I find the definition of expand-file-name so I can look and see what it's doing and what might be wrong. ---eric _______________________________________________ XEmacs-Beta mailing list XEmacs-Beta(a)xemacs.org http://lists.xemacs.org/mailman/listinfo/xemacs-beta
