But I remeber Hi Gerhard, c-default-style is defined in lisp\cc-mode\cc-vars.el, which indicates it's part of the cc-mode XEmacs package. You should be able to customize the variable after first visiting a file which will cause cc-mode to be loaded. xemacs-beta: c-default-style should probably get an autoload cookie? Upgrading to 21.4.13 is a good idea to pick up the latest XEmacs core bugfixes. To get latest cc-mode features and bugfixes you should upgrade your cc-mode package as follows: XEmacs <= 21.1 Options->Manage Packages->Add Download Site->xemacs.org Options->Manage Packages->List & Install XEmacs >= 21.4 Tools->Packages->Add Download Site->xemacs.org Tools->Packages->List & Install XEmacs >= 21.5 Tools->Packages->Set Download Site->Official Releases or Tools->Packages->Set Download Site->Pre-Releases Hope this helps, Adrian Gerhard> that I could set the style in earlier versions.
