Could you trace (paths-find-emacs-root invocation-directory invocation-name) (`paths-find-emacs-root' is in lisp/find-paths.el.) ... and see why it doesn't return anything? -- Cheers =8-} Mike Friede, Völkerverständigung und überhaupt blabla -- University of Tsukuba Tennodai 1-1-1 Tsukuba 305-8573 JAPAN Institute of Policy and Planning Sciences Tel/fax: +81 (298) 53-5091 _________________ _________________ _________________ _________________ What are those straight lines for?
