This report was copied and pasted from XEmacs (menubar only; the toolbar gives 'emacs does not own the primary selection'). The file dialog box hasn't worked since the advent of the msw toolbar, invoked either from the toolbar or from the menubar. 'make' failed at this point: Loading /binary/xemacs-21.0-b37/src/../lisp/update-elc.el... Loading find-paths.el... (14224) Loading packages.el... (22484) Loading setup-paths.el...

Does 'Load .emacs' in the menubar have any function other than to switch from the splash page to the scratch buffer? If not, then it works perfectly, and I find that it's now the method I use most often to perform this function. After that I type 'M-w load-file RET ~/.emacs.'
