I posted this request for help once before, and got a number of responses.
several of them asked what was in my .emacs file, and now i'm prepared to
answer that.

Basic problem:  when i download the new and improved Epoch 3.2, apply the
one canonical patch, and build it for this decstation, it works fine until
I go to do something that sets resources *AFTER* i'm up and running.  an
example is: the pull down menus demos, or using the screen renaming
function of the scr-title package.

I'm using m-pmax.h and s-bsd4.3.h, and have modified both my m-pmax.h file
and config.h to do the 'right thing' with LD_MACHINE, etc.  i copied these
from mail sent to me.

for a test, i did this:

epoch -q

in epoch, i went to the epoch-3.2/epoch-lisp directory, visited dot.emacs
and did eval-current-buffer.  so far, so good.

then i added the directory containing the pull down and pop up demos to my
load path like so:

(setq orginal-load-path load-path)
(defvar HOME (getenv "HOME")
  "This variables specifies the users home-directory")
(setq load-path (cons (concat HOME "/elisp") load-path))

displaying load-path after shows that it is a list containing three paths,
rather than a botched looking list.  then, i do a load-library of
pop_up_demo.el, and epoch dumps core immediately.  when i do all the above
from within gdb, i find that the library loads and a small colored window
is created.  Epoch crashes in line 100 of xresource.c, in the
make_Xresource function, on this line of code:

	xr_free_list = XXRESOURCE(xr_free_list->next);

printing xr_free_list from within gdb says that it is an invalid address,
out of bounds.  is there anything i can do to fix this?  does someone on
the Epoch team, or another expert, have a clue?

also, the display is still hosed, when selecting and pasting text.  not
quite as bad as the beta version, but not real usable as is.  i'm a real
epoch fan - it has considerable potential - and i haven't gone back to
emacs.  any help would be appreciated.

many regards,
dlb
