By loading emacs as emacs -q ;; no init file Adding the path to dired+ to the load-list via *Scratch* Then loading dired+ with (require 'dired+) ;; in *Scratch* The *Help* window for any package is displayed as it should. This suggest to me that some other configuration in init.el has a side effect that is not apparent 'til dired+ is loaded. I.E. dired+ doesn't trigger that problem so much as it is interacting with something else. This is going to take me some time to track down, with my limited skill set, I'll just have to play around with disabling certain features with dired+ loaded and see what happens. l8tr -- Tim tj49.com
