oops - cut & paste error - sorry! original post I am using Xemacs 21.4 (testing), and it is installed without meta-mode.el, which is installed, however, for emacs 20.7. Is there a (good) reason for this, or is it safe to take meta-mode from CTAN and install it in the Xemacs loadpath? Thanks for any help or advice. -- Giulio Morgan
