- I've just got some X-server software for my PC, and we've just got
- Lucid emacs installed on our sun unix server, and I've just got it
- working (and it's neat!) but I have a couple of problems.
-
- 1. My edt emulation doesn't work any more. Oh well, time to get rid
- of that old baggage from 10 years ago when I was using VAX VMS and got
- the EDT keypad burned into the ROM in my head...
-
- 2. When I invoke the MH mail command: "comp -editor lemacs", it barfs
- on me with the following error messages: (begin)
-
- Initialization error: Wrong type argument: stringp, nil
-
- load-path is nil
- exec-directory is nil
- emacs: No current X display connection to close
- whatnow: problems with edit--/home/fluky/thomson/Mail/draft deleted
-
- (end of error messages)
- Nobody around here knows anything about MH mail, and few know much
- about emacs. Can anybody out there help me out?
-
- Thanks
