- I have a rather complicated .emacs file with lots of nifty stuff I wrote.
-
- Unfortunately I have this problem that whenever I bring up .emacs, I get an
- "Error in init file". Easy enough, you say, you're a bozo, fix the error.
- But if I visit the file, then evaluate-current-buffer, it does not complain.
- I can even load emacs with -q, ignoring .emacs, and then load .emacs, evalute
- it, and everything is hunky-dory. And I can find nothing particularly wrong
- with my .emacs file. I have some mouse stuff in there; I think that's what's
- causing the problems, short functions that do nifty things when you drag the
- mouse. They behave fine whenever I execute them on their own as you might
- guess. They just don't work in the .emacs file.
-
- Help!
