Two possibilities: either your .emacs file does not get executed at all (or there might be a syntax error before the above statement), or the other directory is added to load-path after your statement. Try adding the following before or after the load-path setting to see if this ever gets executed: (message "Hello load-path") (sit-for 3) > I tried C-h v load-path RET, sorry I probably > did something wrong, I just got "no match". Very strange. load-path is a defined variable in all Emacsen I have ever seen. Maybe your Emacs installation is completely hosed? Try `C-h v ?'. Does that give a longish completion list? (I get a *Completions* buffer with 2000 lines.) kai -- A preposition is not a good thing to end a sentence with.
