ANSWER = Yes, that' is correct.

ANSWER = The load-path should be
"e:\\apps\\jde216b4\\lisp\\jde\\", not just
"e:\\apps\\jde216b4\\lisp\\" -- but that still doesn't work, because it
can't find the Java files.

THIS NOW WORKS -
subst x: "C:\Program Files"
nmake all -f xemacs.mak PACKAGE_PREFIX=X:\XEmacs
(copy xemacs.exe to x:\xemacs-21.1.3/i386-pc-win32)
(install jde 2.1.6b4 in X:\XEmacs\xemacs-packages)
M-x bsh now brings up the % prompt ok
This way everything still sits in C:\Program Files\XEmacs, but the subst
removes the "space in the pathname" problem.
It also demonstrates that this IS the problem - and since Program Files is
the dfault install dir, it's probably worth fixing.
Thanks to all for advice and help,
Regards,
Thomas.
