I don't have an ess package to test, but I took an fsf-compat tarball and unpacked it to e:\XEmacs\site-packages and here is the value of load-path when I restarted XEmacs: `load-path' is a simple built-in variable. Value: ("e:/acs/lib/lisp/xemacs" "e:/acs/lib/lisp" "e:\\XEmacs\\site-packages\\lisp\\" "e:\\XEmacs\\site-packages\\lisp\\fsf-compat\\" "e:\\XEmacs\\xemacs-packages\\lisp\\" "e:\\XEmacs\\xemacs-packages\\lisp\\c-support\\"..... 1. I'm wondering if your ess package conforms to the standard package format; if you cd to c:/XEmacs/site-packages, what does 'ls -R' print? 2. Does the behavior change at all if you start XEmacs with the -vanilla option? HTH, Vin
