Thanks Chris,
I think I have all the "ingredients" I am just at a loss as to how to
put them together in a directory structure. So far all I have been
able to get for my M-x w3m is the nasty message "Install w3m command
in `exec-path' or set `w3m-command' variable correctly. Is an exec
path like a load-path? I have (setq load-path (cons "c:/Program Files/
Emacs/Emacs-21.3/w3m-0.5.2" load-path)) added to my .emacs file and it
does not seem to help.
