I'm running GNU Emacs 18.50.5 on a Sun (release 3.5) under BSD 4.2. I've been having fun finding all the nice things I can do with emacs under unix that I can't do with emacs under vax/vms. However.... I encountered a problem with rnews. Everything came up just fine, but after finishing first newsgroup `n' failed to take me to the next. Instead I received the following message: Symbol's function definition is void: cdadr This *looks* like a simple binding problem, but as usual, I don't know where to look. A side effect of this error is a failure to update .newsrc so that a subsequent invocation of rnews starts in the same place.

Roland Roberts BITNET: roberts@uornsrl Nuclear Structure Research Lab INTERNET: rbr4@uhura.cc.rochester.edu This bug is fixed in 18.52. find the use(s) of cdadr in rnews.el and change it news-cdadr. Alternately, add (load-library "cl") to you rnews-mode-hook. enjoy -len
