Also, executable-find is *not* in the standard Emacs (20.7) distribution. I
don't know what the original poster might have been thinking of.
The latest version of jde-help.el uses jde-find-exec.
The definition of jde-find-exec is now included in jde.el, so anyone who
downloads jde-help also needs to get the other file.
