So when I evaluate it I get the error: =C2=A0 =C2=A0Lisp error: (invalid-read-syntax ". in wrong context") I wonder why the error message doesn't give me the location of the error like scan-error. I have to bisect the file to find the bad part. Doesn't invalid-read-syntax have the location where it encountered the error? If it does then why doesn't it print it like scan-error? =C2=A0
