My copy fires up gmacs using: 'gmacs -font 9x15 -b 3 -w =80x59-4+2 -i' This makes the right window, with the right font, but it starts up with "file not found" (when I run it myself in the xterm window) or with a file called "=80x59-4+2" (when run by the script). It's true that when not running under X emacs doesn't know about the X options, but it sounds like you are running under X. I tried it myself with my .emacs file and also without a .emacs file (-q) without any trouble on dagda. It's presumably something in your .emacs file, although I couldn't find anything suspicious. harvard >>>>>> | bloom-beacon > |think!rlk Robert Krawitz ihnp4 >>>>>>>> .
