I have just tried using the new rcp.el with XEmacs 20.3 following the suggestions for installation and loading offered by Gerd Bavendiek on 4 March: >I took rcp.el 1.48 as you released it, switched rcp-rcp-program to scp >and rcp-rsh-program to ssh, put in my .emacs > >;;(require 'efs) >(setq file-name-handler-alist nil) >(require 'rcp) This loaded the remote file without problem! A big step forward. I had never before been able to get around the efs problem. However, I cannot write the file that I have opened after editing. I get the error: Cannot write backup file; backing up in "~/%backup%~" Wrong type argument: listp, "/home/wdmccoy/%backup%~" Any ideas? -- William D.
