I have a small problem using the recently-posted ange-ftp package. If I load the ange-ftp.el file, then afterwards on many occasions I get an error message, "Autoloading failed to define function ange-ftp-real-delete-file". This happens, for example, when I try to quit out of GNUS newsgroup mode. What should I do to avoid this? I am not able to pinpoint exactly at what point this happens, and I don't see why this should be happening at all, unless ange-ftp is somehow causing references to standard functions like delete-file to call corresponding ange-ftp functions. -Satish -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Internet: pai@cs.yale.edu | A.

Simple. ange-ftp should not be autoloaded. You just 'require' it before you need it. Personally I just leave it loaded. -- ange -- ange@hplb.hpl.hp.com
