But, I noticed that while w3m_el-1.2.8 claims to run with the latest w3m, it actually needs w3m v0.3 (see below). I am still getting the same error as before, although I can see relevant packages loading when on a fresh run of Emacs I enter w3m-browse-url. I doubt that a basic command line parameter would change from 0.3 to 0.4.1, but it seems that some kind of argument to a function is amiss. It would be great to be able to browse Javadoc and other HTML doc with a web browser inside Emacs! Do you think that the problem is the mismatch between w3m_el and w3m? >>From README at c:/Program Files/emacs/site/w3m_el-1.2.8/ -> 4. Version of w3m Because this program is sensitive to version of w3m, the latest version of w3m should be used. Its latest official version is 0.3, which is released at March 6th, 2002. Its source can be downloaded from: http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/w3m/w3m-0.3.tar.gz Kevin Rodgers wrote in message news:<3EDE270D.7080302@yahoo.com>... > [Please don't top-post: ] > > Christopher M.
