I'm using xemacs v18.58 on a sun4 architecture.

When I run emacs like this:
  % xemacs -font 8x13 -geometry 81x60+200+5 &

emacs uses the font and geometry that I specify but it also
creates buffers called -font, 8x13, -geometry and 81x60+200+5 !
This is not what I want!! Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong?

Also, emacs seems to ignore the resource that I specify in my .Xdefaults
file e.g.
Xemacs*geometry (or Xemacs*Geometry)

I need some way in a piece of Emacs Lisp I'm writing to determine
details of the date and time...  The only thing I've found so far is
the function (current-time-string), which contains all the info that I
need _except_ the timezone.  I can use either the abbreviation or
(better) the GMT offset, or (best) both.  Does anyone know a way to
determine this from Emacs Lisp.

	-Mike Patton

P.S.  A side comment, I use (current-time-string) and extract
substrings from specific character positions.  The documentation for
(current-time-string) doesn't seem to promise that the format won't
change in future releases (I expect it won't, but if it does, the code
breaks and doesn't realize it).  Is there a better function for this
part as well?  Ideally the whole thing might best be done with a
function that returns a list or vector whose elements match those of a
struct tm in C.

P.P.S.  I'd prefer to use functions from the base release and NOT to
have the code depend on other packages, unless a really small piece
can be extracted to include with my release, as the code is going to
be used by some relatively novice emacs users who won't be up on
getting packages from all over the net

I've found the following line works well for me.  The "frame=e000" line uses
the 64K at E000:0 for the frame buffer.  This memory is normally not used by
emm386.  Without "frame=e000", emm386 uses 64K of memory that would be used
to load tsr's high.

DEVICE=c:\windows\emm386.exe 1024 frame=e000 ram

Subject: Organizing the .../emacs/lisp directory?
Organization: GC Technology
Distribution: gnu
Date: Mon, 4 Jan 1993 21:29:28 GMT

I periodically install and modify files in my /usr/local/lib/emacs/lisp/
directory.  I get really tired of wading through the billions of files
there.  Maybe I'm anal retentive, but I have this fear of directories that
take more than a screen to print out.

I would like to organize the directory contents into a set of
sub-directories, setting the load-path variable to include each of the
sub-directories by default at loadup time.  I have two problems:

	1) I can't set load-path with default.el or .emacs until after
emacs tries to load in some files under /usr/local/lib/emacs/lisp.
Therefore, I cannot file those files into a sub-directory, because they
won't be found.  Do I have to re-compile emacs to include the
sub-directories in load-path from the very beginning?

	2) I want to be able to edit the sub-directories, adding them and
removing them, without recompiling emacs or editing the default.el file
every time.  I have defined a function that sets load-path to all the
directories currently under .../emacs/lisp, but it takes too long to run.
Is there a fast, smart way to do this?

TIA,
Dave

There's no way to get the timezone directly from GNU Emacs (18.59) Lisp.
Your best bet is to write a little C program, and invoke it instead.
(Watch out: one's timezone typically varies with time.)
Perhaps GNU Emacs 19 will have better support for time.

Well, I found a solution to the problem with webster, but I don't know

I changed the following lines in webster-send-request

< 	  (setq webster-buffer
< 		(if (not (fboundp 'make-shell)) ;emacs19

Is there a way to make the vertical bars that separate horizontally

settle for any solution that contains more forground than background.
Thanks for any suggestions.

I don't think that the version of crypt.el in the elisp-archive works based on
extensions but rather magic numbers. Also the ".z" certainly does not appear
in the code nor does any reference to `pack'.  Anyway I posted a version that
works with gzip based on gzip's magic number. Oh, and it took about 20-30
minutes of hacking but I'm slow :)

Try

\C-? is translated to delete in quoted strings. Alternatively you can

There's a package in the emacs lisp code archive which allows you to define
a set of named styles (eg. "BSD", "K&R", "GNU", etc), then you can tag
each file with the name of the style you want to use.

From the top of the file:

;
; 3. Put "eval: (set-c-style 'GNU)" in the local variables list.
; 
; 4. Call set-c-style interactively.  It prompts for the style name.

is to get best performance from Demacs (I realise that "noems" does'nt
work too well :) The thing is I have not been able to get Demacs to run
at anything like its former speed, if at all with any of the settings
I've tried. I'd really like to hear what works for other people.

Hi

I'm using InterViews and have a problem with the next-error function.
In InterViews at the beginning of the make there is a cd SUN4 executed
and during the compile all files are accessed via ../filename.c
When errors occur (and they do regularly :-) ) and I use C-x ` to go
to the errors, emacs searches for the file ../filename.c starting in
the actual directory and so he doesn't find it :-(

Is there a Elisp program that solves this problem (I know next to
nothing about Elisp :-( )

Instead of global-map, try the keymaps used for minibuffer completion:

(define-key minibuffer-local-completion-map "\C-f" 'minibuffer-complete)
(define-key minibuffer-local-must-match-map "\C-f" 'minibuffer-complete)

You may also wish to program the TAB key in these two keymaps to do what you

thanks for the discussion.  as far as i'm concerned, if it isn't
emacs, i don't care all that much about it :-).  i want to switch
terminals and still have it work.  people with repetitive motion
disorders, arthritis, missing or thick fingers, only one arm, etc.
would really appreciate the ability to make sticky the ctrl and shift
modifiers.

   Couldn't you just write a wrapper around redisplay that calls your
   arbitrary functions in a hook?

after i posted, i realized that's pretty much possible.

i would really be very pleased if emacs could do my first two
impossible hacks (sticky shifts and improved forward-word), and the
last (ability to negate paren groupings in regexps).

 "three spaces" is a sort of indentation, and you will be able to change
it to "zero space" as follows.

	(setq mail-yank-original-default-indentation 0)

 Similarly, prefix string will be changed to "> " individually.

	(setq mail-yank-original-quoting-indicator "> ")
