Alain> Emacs generates an error with the following: [...] Alain> Warning: Error in `pre-command-hook' (resetting to nil): Alain> Attempt to throw outside of function:To catch `exit' with Alain> value `nil' This looks like a well-known bug in one of the LISP libraries, already diagnosed. I thought it was fixed, maybe that's only in current CVS. I'm sorry not to be more precise, but I'm busy on other tasks right now, and soon after the holidays I'm not sure who of my colleagues is geared up to answer this inquiry. I did want to provide you with at least this response quickly. If you Google for "Attempt to throw outside of function site:list-archives.xemacs.org" you should get a bunch of relevant hits. You can also (1) try updating to current CVS; (2) wait on a new beta release (I hope late this week); or (3) wait for one of the developers (maybe even me ;-) to get back to you.
