of version 19, Emacs searches for X resources in the files specified by the following environment variables: XFILESEARCHPATH and XUSERFILESEARCHPATH should be a list of file names separated by colons. XAPPLRESDIR should be a list of directory names separated by colons. or if that is unset, in the file named ~/.

Emacs is incompatible with the latest versions of mouse wheel devices. To get your mouse wheel to work with Emacs, you'll need to select some options in the device setup panels. Intellimouse: To use the wheel as a middle button, select "Standard behavior" and "Paste on one click". To use the wheel, disable "Universal Scrolling".

Try the following and change the numeric values to suit your needs: idt*geometry: 300x300+0+0 idt*TopLevelShell*geometry: +0+536

X clients are typically customizable in their appearance and behavior in a very large number of ways. It would be very cumbersome to require X clients to be called with command-line arguments specifying each of the configurable parameters. Therefore, the X server maintains a database of X resources. When an X client connects to an X server, it inherits a set of properties from the X server that correspond to it.

When Emacs starts up it attempts to load, and execute the contents of a file called ".emacs", or "_emacs". This file is where all the customizations are saved, and restored from when you restart Emacs. All of these settings are stored as Lisp expressions, for a general introduction to Lisp you could see : http://cons.org, more Emacs Specific information can be found in the Emacs Lisp Manual.

By default, Sendmail uses DNS for name resolution, not the /etc/hosts file. The behavior can be changed through the use of the /etc/mail/service.switch file. If you wish to query the hosts file before DNS servers, create a /etc/mail/service.switch file which contains the following line: hosts files dns OpenBSD ships with an SSL-ready httpd and RSA libraries. For use with httpd(8), you must first have a certificate created.

You can also use a resource editor, such as editres (for X11R5 and onwards), to look at the resource names for the menu bar, assuming Emacs was compiled with the X toolkit.

Emacs 19.29 or thereabouts stopped using a terminal type of "emacs" in shell buffers, and instead sets it to "dumb". Zsh only kicks in its special I'm-inside-emacs initialization when the terminal type is "emacs". Probably the most reliable way of dealing with this is to look for the environment variable $EMACS, which is set to t in Emacs' shell mode. Putting [[ $EMACS = t ]] && unsetopt zle in your .zshrc should be sufficient.

error occurred while loading either your .emacs file or the system-wide file lisp/default.el. Emacs 21.1 and later pops the *Messages* buffer, and puts there some additional information about the error, to provide some hints for debugging. It may be the case that you need to load some package first, or use a hook that will be evaluated after the package is loaded. A common case of this is explained in Terminal setup code works after Emacs has begun.

Old versions of Emacs (i.e., versions before Emacs 20.x) often encountered this when the master lock file, !!!SuperLock!!!, has been left in the lock directory somehow. Delete it. Mark Meuer says that NeXT NFS has a bug where an exclusive create succeeds but returns an error status. This can cause the same problem. Since Emacs's file locking doesn't work over NFS anyway, the best solution is to recompile Emacs with CLASH_DETECTION undefined.

Your startup file can be named either _emacs or .emacs, and should be placed in your "home" directory. If you have both files in your home directory, Emacs will load the .emacs file and ignore _emacs. Your home directory is where the HOME configuration variable tells Emacs it is.

T01. Why doesn't polycontour fill open contours?? This problem is described in the POLYCONTOUR manual page. RESTRICTIONS: This routine will NOT draw open contours. To eliminate open contours in your dataset, surround the original array with a 1-element border on all sides. The border should be set to a value less than or equal to the minimum data array value.

When jEdit saves an existing file, it uses the line separator already used by the file. The line separator designated in the buffer options or elsewhere is used only for new files.

Yes. Recent versions of ESS (e.g. 5.2.0) come with support for this version of R, and there is support for interrupting the R process from ESS (by C-c C-c).

If your installation of XFree86 3.3/3.3.3 is not complete you may see the following error message when starting an X server: error opening security policy file /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xserver/SecurityPolicy This is a only a warning message, and is mostly harmless. If your server is failing to startup, this is not the reason. Check the other messages. The file being referred to is included in the Xlib.tgz part of the XFree86 binary distributions produced by The XFree86 Project.

If I obscure a ctrans window or an NCAR Graphics X11 window with another application, the window doesn't refresh.

When running in windowed mode or GDI-based fullscreen mode, XWin.exe must run the X Server at whatever display depth Windows is currently using; in these cases the display depth passed on the command line is ignored. XWin.exe only uses the display depth parameter when running in a DirectDraw-based fullscreen mode, as DirectDraw allows applications to change the display resolution and depth when running in fullscreen mode.

In general, new Emacs users should not have .emacs files, because it causes confusing non-standard behavior. Then they send questions to help-gnu-emacs@gnu.org asking why Emacs isn't behaving as documented. Beginning with version 20.1, Emacs includes the new Customize facility (see Using Customize). This allows users who are unfamiliar with Emacs Lisp to modify their .emacs files in a relatively straightforward way, using menus rather than Lisp code.

Start Emacs with the '-debug-init' command-line option. This enables the Emacs Lisp debugger before evaluating your .emacs file, and places you in the debugger if something goes wrong. The top line in the trace-back buffer will be the error message, and the second or third line of that buffer will display the Lisp code from your .emacs file that caused the problem. You can also evaluate an individual function or argument to a function in your .

If TB disease is present, it is probably in the lungs. If your skin test is positive, you will be asked to get a chest x-ray on the day of your skin test reading. A chest x-ray takes a picture of the lungs and shows the doctor if there are any signs there of TB. View an abnormal X-ray the State TB Program, your waiting time for the x-ray will depend on the number of people ahead of you.

When TeX is laying out text, it doesn't work from word to word, or from line to line; the smallest complete unit it formats is the paragraph. The paragraph is laid down in a buffer, as it appears, and isn't touched further until the end-paragraph marker is processed. It's at this point that the paragraph parameters have effect; and it's because of this sequence that one often makes mistakes that lead to the paragraph parameters not doing what one would have hoped (or expected).

Find a member who annoys you and you could really do without reading all their posts. Find one of their posts. Note the little: View post" allows you to view posts that are hidden, just in case you want to give them the benefit of the doubt. Posts as the start of a topic are not ignored. Because you need to know what the topic is about. If you want to ignore them you won't have clicked into the topic, if you want to read the topic then you need to see the first post.

This is a result of a questionable security policy, not found in other web browsers. You can verify that security settings are the problem by viewing the JavaScript Console (via the Tools menu) after trying to click on a link; you should see a "Security Error" message. Links can be made to work by changing a global configuration setting, or modifying your user.js file, depending on the version of Firefox you're using.

We have been using Leonard N Zubkoff's (lnz@dandelion.com) Apollo customized versions of GNU Emacs on our Apollos for some time now (latest version we have installed is 18.57). A month ago I started using X. I quickly discovered that all my Apollo function key and keypad key bindings (the gray keys), no longer worked. These bindings were made in my .emacs file using Zubkoff's supplied function, bind-apollo-function-key, which is defined in /gnuemacs/etc/apollo.el.

Gnu Emacs 18.55 (with Leonard N. Zubkoff's patches for SR10.2) seems to have a problem with shell subprocesses. At times the 0x0 character (displayed as ^@ by Emacs) appears in buffers running a shell. While this is only a nuisance running an inferior shell, it is a problem when running the M-x compile command: The C-x ' (next-error) function is unable to process the compiler output.
