M-x qda RET results in an error message: "Symbol function is void: loop". But it's possible to start it by typing M-x load-library RET qda. Before it works you have to put the following to you .emacs file: (setq load-path (append load-path (list (expand-file-name "~/elisp/qda")))) Where ~/elisp/qda is the directory where you have installed the package. I installed it in the system-wide /usr/local/share/emacs/site-lisp/qda first time I tried. But, then, I had to chmod the elc-files to o+r. (I don't know if that was necessary or just one of the things I tried when I faced problems.) Create a folder named "qda" in your $HOME. Then try M-x qda-create-project. Give it a name like "my-project". Then type M-x qda-view-tree. An empty code-tree appears where you can add new codes by typing "a", and then "t" for refreshing the tree. I could only add new codes (nodes) of the first degree. Additional nodes of the 2nd and 3rd degree could be added but are nor displayed when I typed "t" again. But the package is stil not usable, since the function qda-load-project doesn't work at the moment. Also qda-introduce-doc isn't working. That's how far I have come. I'm looking forward for a version that works in all environments. Jim, however I can help you, please tell me. Remember, I'm not an elisp developer, but I can serve as a test-user whenever you can find some time to do further work. Oh, by the way, congratulations for your PhD. Sven
