I haven't worried about the info files yet because trying to load infohack didn't work for me (with XEmacs 21.1.8). However, when I tried to run gnus, I got: Wrong number of arguments: gnus-continuum-version, 0 The traceback looks like this: Signaling: (wrong-number-of-arguments gnus-continuum-version 0) gnus-continuum-version() byte-code("..."
