hello again, thx for the reply, i also think is something about timing but when i do an "(add-hook ...)" it all seems to work :)
but i have another question, sorry! is it possible that jde always puts back the original jde-compile-finish-hook when you visit a new file? in my system it works like that and for me that is very good, wonderful ;) because i don't have the need to check if my file is a special one and do a check! but, is this the correct and desired flow that jde wants/desires/what_ever? thx again for everything, rodrigo.
