The directory name is a > string and thus needs "..." notation. I've set the home variable with M-x set-variable then captured the output with C-x ESC ESC C-a C-k and yanked it into .gnus That method produces the syntax below. Is that incorrect? (set-variable (quote nnir-glimpse-home) (quote/home/reader/glimpse-m)) Using either the above or: (setq nnir-glimpse-home "/home/reader/glimpse-m") Neither causes nnir to look in ~/glimpse-m for its index files. Nnir still looks in ~/ C-h v shows : nnir-glimpse-home's value is /home/reader/glimpse-m -- Harry Putnam
