Are you sure Tramp is loaded? >What is the output of "C-h v file-name-handler-alist" or "C-h v >tramp-version"? Yeah, so I thought. C-h v file-name-handler-alist gives: `file-name-handler-alist' is a simple built-in variable. Value: (("\\`/\\[.*\\]" . tramp-file-name-handler) ("^/[^/:]+:" . remote-path-file-handler-function)) I can't seem to have the variable tramp-version in. I assume Tramp is loaded, I get all sorts of tramp variables, but not everything, like the one you just mentioned. Confused... Thanks, VR
