IOW, I wouldn't need tramp in order to > retrieve a later version of tramp... or? What does Tramp have to do with PCL-CVS or GUD mode? Tramp is available via FTP and CVS. Instructions can be found at http://savannah.gnu.org/projects/tramp/. If you choose to use CVS, then "cd" to your working directory and type "cvs update -dP". That's enough to fetch the diffs to the most recent version and apply them. -- A turnip curses Elvis
