Shortly thereafter I call (diary) to get my diary entries displayed. My startup aborts then with the "error in Init file" error. When I track down the problem, it is the above error mentioned by Noah, when the diary file is being find-filed. The error occurs in vm-handle-file-reversion when the find-file-hooks are run. If I reload my .emacs, I don't see the problem. It only happens on startup. P.S. I am experiencing the "References:" problem also. -- -------------------------------------------------------------------- himacdon@maytag.uwaterloo.ca watmath!maytag!himacdon
