HI Francesco, You may want to ask the xemacs folks about the first part of your question: that part of the question, about the difference between '.emacs' and 'custom.el', is something very emacs/xemacs-specific, and I don't think we at Python-tutor will be able to help you too effectively on that point: you are better off asking people who really know what they're talking about. *grin* You should be able to find some introductory information on the '.emacs' file here: http://www.xemacs.org/Documentation/21.5/html/xemacs_30.html#SEC390 I believe that .custom.el is a file associated with the Custom library that comes bundled with emacs: http://www.dina.kvl.dk/~abraham/custom/ I believe that you probably want to work on .emacs, not .custom.el. but again, I strongly recommend you get a real emacs guru to describe these files. About installing python-mode.el, do the instructions at: http://www.emacswiki.org/cgi-bin/wiki?PythonMode help? _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
