Date: Thu, 20 Feb 2020 14:38:41 -0900 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <2a01762f-e1b2-9048-97a9-b03fa0aff520@tj49.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <85y2sx9cah.fsf@gmail.com>
Possible solution!
I loaded emacs -q, ran list-packages, look at the info for help-fns+.el
and understood that it would need to be re-compiled with a newer version
of emacs.
I just re-compiled help-fns+.el as per instructions in the info file and
the problem is solved.
I have much snow to shovel here - may not check email for several hours.
Hopefully further testing won't turn up further hiccups.
cheers
tim
