Hi,
OK, rcp.el is now working for me as advertised. I cannot recreate
the problem listed below. The only change I made was to exit and
enter emacs and load rcp into a fresh emacs. The problems I had seem
to have been related to loading rcp.el into an emacs that had been running
for days. So whether rcp.el works when loaded into an existing emacs
session may depend on the history of the session. Again, I have tried
but can't reproduce the problems I was having but things are working
fine for me.
Thanks,
Charlie
