Hi Phil.

Thanks for taking the time to think about this one.  Here's my usual 
*Messages* buffer upon start-up:

	(emacs)
	Loading disp-table...done
	Loading /Users/sebbyt/.xemacs/init.el (source)...done
	Loading /Users/sebbyt/.xemacs/custom.el (source)...done
	Loading dired...done
	Reading directory /Users/sebbyt/.Terminal_folder/...done
	Desktop loaded.
	For information about the GNU Project and its goals, type C-h C-p.

Seemingly no problem there.  However within 'customize-group RET 
desktop' desktop-buffer-handlers says the following:

	Desktop Buffer Handlers: [Hide]
	[INS] [DEL] Function: desktop-buffer-dired
	[INS] [DEL] Function: desktop-buffer-rmail
	[INS] [DEL] Function: desktop-buffer-mh
	[INS] [DEL] Function: desktop-buffer-info
	[INS] [DEL] Function: desktop-buffer-file
	[INS]
	   [State]: this option is unchanged from its standard setting.
	List of functions to call in order to create a buffer. [Hide]
	The functions are called without explicit parameters but can use the
	variables `desktop-buffer-major-mode', `desktop-buffer-file-name',
	`desktop-buffer-name'.
	If one function returns non-nil, no further functions are called.
	If the function returns t then the buffer is considered created.

I'm at a loss, not being a Lisp programmer, (or any sort of programmer 
for that matter), but I've established that the function 
desktop-buffer-file, (the last in the list), deals with restoring 
buffers that visit files in the correct major/minor modes etc.

Other things aren't working such as modes I've put in 
desktop-modes-not-to-save being ignored.  But let's tackle one thing at 
a time hey!

Any ideas?

Seb.
