This bug report will be sent to the XEmacs Development Team, not to your local site managers!! Please write in English, because the XEmacs maintainers do not have translators to read other languages for them. Please describe as succinctly as possible: - What happened. - What you thought should have happened. - Precisely what you were doing at the time. Please also include any C or lisp back-traces that you may have. ================================================================ Dear Bug Team! The natural way to activate it recent-files when XEmacs starts up seems to be to add recent-files-initialize to init.el; AFAICS there's no customization for this. But then if you customise the file in which to save the recent files list, it isn't found, because custom.el has not been loaded, so you start from scratch each time (the file is then saved with the correct name because the customisation has kicked in). ================================================================ System Info to help track down your bug: --------------------------------------- uname -a: Linux mnemosyne 2.4.9-31 #1 Tue Feb 26 06:53:37 EST 2002 i686 unknown ./configure '--prefix=/home/rrt' '--with-mule' XEmacs 21.4.6 "Common Lisp" configured for `i686-pc-linux'.
