Sure I got it you keep "." as it is for you a way to load scripts from current directory wherever you are. That way you load those from directory. To me that defeats the purpose of load-path, as it is normally used from scripts, loading or requiring should take place regardless of current directory, it is not much interactive. By the way when I am in Dired, I am thus changing current directory, and when I wish to load file not in load-path, I just use key `L' and load arbitrary file interactively. -- Jean Take action in Free Software Foundation campaigns: https://www.fsf.org/campaigns Sign an open letter in support of Richard M.
