I have done this more times than I care to think about on Intel
architectures (i386/i486 and i860).  However, I am not sure that your
friend has an Intel CPU.

To get help, please post the CPU/Machine type, and the OS Vendor.  Also
indicate whether X is included in the build, and if so, who the vendor is.

SVR4 support is built in to 18.57.  Use s-usg5-4.h and the appropriate
m-*.h file.  See etc/MACHINES for details.

Sample error messages would be helpful for the net to debug with.

I just upgraded our emacs distribution from 18.55 to 18.58.  The build
and install went through without a hitch--in fact, I am posting this
article from within gnus under the new emacs. However, I have run into
a few glitches which are beyond my diagnostic abilities.  Hopefully
someone out there is smarter than I am:

(1) Attempting to establish a telnet session under emacs with any host
yields the minibuffer message "process hostname-telnet not running"
and the message "Process hostname-telnet exited abnormally with code
1" in the telnet buffer.

(2) When I try to run webster from within emacs I get the minibuffer
messages "Process webster not running" even though I can run webster
from the UNIX shell without trouble.

(3) When I try to start the emacs server in an existing emacs (using
M-x server-start), I get the minibuffer message "Searching for
program: no such file or directory, server".

All three problems look like they might be related but I haven't a
clue how.  Note that .el and .elc files for telnet, webster and server
are all located in the appropriate lisp directory which is itself in
the load path.  Also, webster is autoloaded at startup.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers,
patrick

GNUS is the pre-eminent news reader in GNU emacs.  There is some
mention of it in the FAQ file, I believe.

If you have access to the Internet, you can get the latest version of

On the subject of filename completion in find-file, here's a little
hack that I've found invaluable:

(define-key minibuffer-local-completion-map "~"
	'minibuffer-insert-home-directory)

(defun minibuffer-insert-home-directory ()
"Replace the minibuffer contents with \"~/\"."
  (interactive)
  (beginning-of-line)
  (or (eobp) (kill-line))
  (insert "~/"))

Whenever you hit ~ in the minibuffer it clears the current contents
and inserts ~/ .  If you want a real ~ you can use C-q ~ of course.

[Pardon me if this is the third posting you are seeing from me.  My
default nntp-server is hanging up on me every time]

I am running emacs version 18.55.0 on a Sun SparcStation running SunOS
Release 4.0.3c.

When I start ange-ftp (by doing a find-file, for example) I get the
error "Skipping badly configured .netrc".  I am not able to figure out
the reason for this error especially since it occurs even when I do
not set any ange-ftp defaults in my .emacs and do not have *anything*
in my .netrc (I created it by saying touch .netrc in my home
directory).

I get the feeling that it is a system related bug since it works fine
on another machine (a Solbourne running OS/MP 4.1A) which has the same
version of emacs.

I know I must be doing something stupid.  I would appreciate any
pointers/flames. 

The following is the ls -l of my .netrc (I changed it to u+x to see if
that helped):

Merci,

The problem has to do with the code that handles the FCC header
(specificarlly mail-do-fcc in sendmail.el) and code in rmail.el that
converts files to babyl format. sendmail.el and rmail.el do not
agree on a format for the mailbox and rmail-convert-to-babyl-format
and rmail-nuke-pinhead-header search (and fail) for a wrong string.

I am not sure if there was an official patch posted to this. We
modified at our site.

thanx

The following two functions should do what you want. They work by
catching the error raised by scroll-down/scroll-up and positioning the
cursor. If the cursor is already at the beginning/end of the buffer,
the appropriate error is raised.

If you put this into your .emacs file (including the "global-set-key"
lines), these functions are bound to C-v/M-v except in buffers where
these keys are remapped.


(defun new-scroll-up (arg)
  (interactive "P")

      (error "End of buffer"))

Fellow Emacs-Lisp hackers

I've written an Emacs package to provide access to a directory of
ASCII text local help files. There is a good reason why they have not
been written as "Info" files, i.e. they belong to the Poplog system.

I'm generating an alist of available files and passing this to the
completing-read function to enable filename completion and to provide
a form of "index".

What I really want to be able to do is to scroll the *Completions*
buffer without having to do a couple of C-x o and then using C-v.
Ideally I'd like C-v and M-v to work from the completing-read prompt.

Has anyone written any code which may help me with this or does anyone
have a solution in their head?

Thanks in advance,

One possible solution (just for dired) is to bind a key (say "R"?)  to
a special-purpose function.

Here is a more generic solution, which applies whenever you find-file
an rmail file. The basic idea is to make default-major-mode a little
smarter.  This extends to handle other buffer types, in this example
it also puts new "*scratch*" buffers into lisp-interaction-mode.

;;; snip, put in your .emacs:

(defun default-major-mode nil
  "Call fundamental-mode, or initial-major-mode for \"*scratch*\".
Intended as the value of the variable default-major-mode, which
is funcalled from normal-mode, or when you kill your last buffer
and a new \"*scratch*\" buffer is created."
  (interactive)
  (cond
   ((string-equal "*scratch*" (buffer-name))
    (funcall initial-major-mode))
   ((let (case-fold-search) (looking-at "^BABYL OPTIONS:\n"))
    (rmail buffer-file-name))
   (t (fundamental-mode))))

Hi,

We are using sunos4.1.1, one of our users reported the following problem...

The new version of emacs has a nasty habit of dumping core
when I press the key and hold it down for auto-repeat, when
I am using my modem.  The program often hangs temporarily when
I press auto-repeat keys, and sometimes dumps core.  Is there
any known problem relating to this in the emacs news group or
do we have to debug it ourselves?


I was wondering if anyone knows what's wrong... please reply directly...

Organization: University of Toronto - EPAS
Date: Sat, 11 Apr 1992 15:06:01 GMT

I am curious about text effects in emacs. From what I understand,
epoch is a specialised type of emacs for X-Windows, which supports
hilighting, etc. Will emacs 19 support text effects (underlining,
boldface, etc.) mentioned in /etc/termcap?

BTW, this is not a novice request -- I am not trying to get effects on
the screen so that I can send them to my printer ;-) I'm just
interested in an emacs with programmer-hooks to place text effects in
a buffer and leave them there. I know that I could try to simulate
this by sending strings directly to /dev/tty, but there would be a lot
of work involved every time the visible window contents shifted or
were redrawn. I'm especially interested in developing a new
concordance/textual database (someday soon) with emacs and perl
closely integrated, but I'd like to be able to underline or hilight
keywords, at least.


Thanks,

David

This concerns Texinfo V2.

I'm creating a Texinfo document, the printed portion of which includes
diagrams inserted through TeX commands.  The diagrams are inserted at
the point that I ask but some of them require a new page to fit.  This
leaves only a fraction of a page of text on the prior page.

That in itself is alright with me but Texinfo vertically justifies
the text, e.g. say there are only 2 table items on the page, Texinfo
would put one at the top and one at the bottom.  I want all of the left
over whitespace to appear at the bottom with the text packed at the top
as per normal page spacing.

How can I turn off this vertical justification throughout the document?

How do you find/find and replace characters that are like \200, \354
I cannot seem to "quote" them into the search string.

Ok.  I read the FAQ.  I tried many combinations, but I can't get it to
work.  I simply want to be able to use my function keys, and the FAQ
suggests something like the following, although not explicitly:

(define-key global-map "ESC [ 224 z" 'save-buffer)

I am trying here to bind F1 to save-buffer, but it doesn't work.  I
get "error in init file" error (I have this in my .emacs). 

Why?  What?  Examples would be most helpful.  Also, what do you good
people bind your function keys to?
