John, Thanks for the tip! I'm going to try and see if I can figure out the lack of debugging info in the shell under Windows as it took me almost 20 minutes to figure out I had a typo in my conkerorrc when changing it to use get_home_directory() (modern compilers have spoiled me), and I'm sure I'm going to have to deal with this issue again in a few weeks when I have to reboot into Windows again. If I find anything uselful I'll get it to you. -Mark _______________________________________________ Conkeror mailing list [email protected] https://www.mozdev.org/mailman/listinfo/conkeror
