Using the new release:

GNU Emacs 22.1.1 (i386-mingw-windows98.2222)
  of 2007-06-02 on RELEASE

I still can't get file dialog to to open when I click on File > Open File. 
Instead I see "Find file: .." in the minibuffer. Both Use Dialog Box and Use 
File Dialog are set and saved according to Customize. This has been the 
behavior since 22.0.0. It works ok on 21.3.


Another mystery on this same platform is that the following at the end of my 
.emacs seems to be ignored:

"
(make-frame '((name . "courier")
                (top . 1) (left . 1) (width . 98) (height . 17)
                (visibility . icon) ; nil or icon
                (font . "-outline-Courier 
New-normal-r-normal-normal-*-*-96-96-c-*-iso10646-1")))

(select-frame-by-name "courier")
"

The frame is created and displayed but the font is proportional (the default 
here) instead of Courier New. I can change it with S-left-mouse but it seems 
like the above code should have worked.

Does any of you have any ideas on these two problems?

Thanks,
Ed

Jason just posted a patch on bug-gnu-emacs.  If you can rebuild Emacs
from sources, could you please try that patch and see if it solves
your problem?

Thanks Eli (and Jason). I'm afraid I could only accomplish a rebuild with 
the help of more handholding than anyone would probably care to offer. Is 
there a site that offers detailed step by step instructions on how to 
accomplish this? I have downloaded a bunch of mingw stuff but I don't even 
know how to unpack the tar.gz files.
