Hi,

Yes, I see from the error log when I try IDLWAVE's makefile that my
version of emacs is indeed 21.3.50. However, I can't get past the
installation of IDLWAVE 5.2 without generating fatal errors. I don't
know how to make an end run around the Carbonized version to install
X-based emacs. Or is it that I am running the same emacs but from a
terminal session? ("The fog of unix maintenance creeps in on cats
paws." Henry Wadsworth Longinterger.)

I freely admit that my understanding of emacs-y things is pretty
wobbly... but last time I was able to bull my way through. Not this
time I guess. I'll sleep on it - and start fresh tomorrow and all will
be well.

Ben
