Hi,

Yes you were right

Now I get an other error message and I don’t know why.

I put the file: "asciidoc.el" in my direcory:

/home/gfp/.config/emacs/Zusatzpakete/selbstinstalliert/Asciidoc/


and in my init.el file it looks like this:


(load "asciidoc.el")
   (add-to-list 'load-path 
"/home/gfp/.config/emacs/Zusatzpakete/selbstinstalliert/Asciidoc/")

So, where is my mistake?
Why emacs can’t find my file?


Second question
If there is already an error showing up in the backtrace buffer
can I test an other expression in the scratch buffer with hitting C-j?

It seems to me that the first backtrace blocks everything
and I have to get right this one.

How can I get rid of the first backtrace to check other expressions?


Kind regards

Gottfried
