Well, if refusing to throw away an old 486/4mb laptop and therefore trying to use Emacs 18.59 counts as stubborness, here I am. I say `trying' because I managed to compile it on ol' Debian slink, but upon running the terminal gets scrambled. If any luckier stubborn person is reading this, I'll sing him a praise if he'll share the magic formula. Massimiliano
