Although I have tried this under the native build on windows-nt in (emacs-version) "XEmacs 21.0 \"Pyrenean-pre6\" [Lucid] (i386-pc-win32) of Wed Nov 11 1998 on DARTER2" I suspect this exists on UNIX as well: All my builds are performed under d:\export\home\tmp\xemacs-20. The XEmacs I run was installed in the default location of c:\Program Files\XEmacs\ via nt\xemacs.mk To reproduce you can do the following: "c:\program files\xemacs\xemacs-21.0\i386-pc-win32\xemacs.exe" -q \ -no-site-file M-x hyper-apropos RET package-get RET NOW, M-x find-function or M-x hyper-apropos-find-function will only find functions which are marked a (a = autoloaded). See what happens for functions which are not, like `package-get-key': The library "d:\export\home\tmp\xemacs-20\lisp\packages" is not in the path. Any suggestions?
