That means that swbuff.el is not loaded. Something is wrong, and I'm not able to tell you what based on the information you supply. Like I said, I use swbuff-x (downloaded from the same URL), and I simply use a (require 'swbuff-x). Works for me. | I have instead tried to write: | | (provide 'swbuff) | | then I emacs restarts without error but I don't know if is read at | all. No, it certainly isn't. `provide' is put at the end of a file (elisp library) so that that file/library may be loaded with `require', just as you're attempting. Putting it in ~/.emacs is like saying that ~/.emacs contains the swbuff code, which is clearly wrong. -- SB _______________________________________________ Help-gnu-emacs mailing list Help-gnu-emacs@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-gnu-emacs
