You don't need to find the library, since we know that 'warning-supress-types' is an *option* that you need to *customize* (emphasis because those terms indicate emacs commands/settings). M-x customize-option then enter: warning-supress-types And emacs will bring up the customize buffer for warning-supress-types, where you can add (undo discard-info) to the list, but it's not the most intuitive interface: * Click on State, which should show a menu. * choose show saved lisp expression. * I *suspect* that you'll have a default value of nil; change that to ((undo discard-info)) * Click save for future sessions * close/disregard the customize buffer. It's possible that there is one too many levels of parens in there... if that doesn't work, try setting the value to (undo discard-info) --Rogan > > A Google search for 'emacs warning library location' (and just the first > three words) did not show me where the library is located.
