In v21.4.13, I would open a file, say, C:\projects\src\junk.c. I would then want to search for a tag (M-x tags-search). XEmacs would then ask me (in the command line): Build tag completion table for c:\projects\src\TAGS? (y or n) I would hit 'y' for yes and the search would begin. I wouldn't have to do anything with the variable tag-table-alist (unless it was automatically done for me). v21.4.18 does not do this. I'll open the file just like before. I invoke a tags search and the command line says (I don't remember the exact words): C:\TAGS does not exist The search is then aborted. It won't let me specify a tags table either via the menu Tools->Tags->Select Tags Table File... (which I believe is the same as M-x visit-tag-table). My expectation was that this would've behaved the same way that 21.4.13 behaved.
