I still don't think that's what he meant. I don't either, and I'm aware of how configure works (in general, I wasn't aware of the --datadir option in particular). > You certainly do, though. Not really, I don't think so. And you still haven't replied to my questions. So anyway, let's keep this focused and simple: In the special case considered, do you agree that it would be better if Emacs recognized that it was started from the source tree and showed the corresponding NEWS file instead of the one installed? Can you please answer that question? >> Failing all that, if there is no prospect of change at all, would it be >> possible to at least warn the user in cases like this?

Again, "_all_ the possible places" seems vague, but please could I get an answer to the one question above first? It seems crucial to me for further discussion. Thanks, --=20 =C5=A0t=C4=9Bp=C3=A1n
