A very experienced software specialist told me it's best never to use software that requires these modifications because sooner rather than later windows will crash and then the whole mess has to be reinstalled after that. He had no idea about xemacs but he told me emacs and windows do not live happily on machines together. So I'm wondering if xemacs might end up being any better and figured this being the closest list to emacs support I'm on that actually works to ask this question here. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Jude
