In the comments of the file synonyms.el it reads: ;; (setq synonyms-cach-file ) ;; (require 'thesaurus) I believe that ``thesaurus'' in the second line should be changed to synonyms. Also the variable name is misspelled in the first line. The cach- typo was corrected to cache- some time ago. Thanks for the second typo (I called the library "thesaurus.el" in a preliminary version, and never corrected the Commentary). I cannot make this file work. When I give (for example) M-x synonyms RET buffer RET I get Looking up synonyms for "buffer"... Recognizing tables...done synonyms-read-synonyms-from-cache: End of file during parsing After that every time I try to invoke ``synonyms'' I get: Looking up synonyms for "but"... synonyms-format-entry: Args out of range: 0, 10 where the numbers is the position of point. M-x version, gives: GNU Emacs 22.0.50.1 (i486-pc-linux-gnu, X toolkit, Xaw3d scroll bars) of 2005-12-21 on pacem, modified by Debian 1. Download the latest version. You don't say what update number (or date) of synonyms.el you have, but there was one day when I uploaded the file with an error that gave args out of range (but not end of file for the cache). Maybe you picked up that bugged version. Also, what platform (OS) are you using? 2. I don't recognize the message "Recognizing tables...done". It doesn't come from synonyms.el, I believe. 3. Remove your synonyms cache file, so the new version will recreate it. 4. Email me off list if you have a problem with the latest version. Thx.
