Hello Toby,
sorry for the delay in answering.
webmaster(a)xemacs.org is the right address to report problems with the
website itself (broken URLs, incorrect, incomplete, or confusing
content).
Please turn to the mailing lists advertized in
http://www.xemacs.org/Debug/index.html
for help configuring, compiling and using XEmacs.
Please always specify the version of XEmacs you are using and the
configuration (M-x describe-installation).
You may just submit an XEmacs bug report. This will include all the
required information about your XEmacs installation automatically.
It will also ask you to ...
Please describe as succinctly as possible:
- What happened.
- What you thought should have happened.
- Precisely what you were doing at the time.
Hope this helps,
Adrian
