I went for Fink's Emacs23.App build which has installed fine. However running it from /sw/bin/emacs23 doesn't work very well. The window comes up but the application never comes into to focus resulting in all key presses generating the no app saw this boink sound. I was mainly setting this up for It's All Text and Firefox. Browsing to /sw/Applications/Emacs.app doesn't work but manually enerting in the full path: /sw/Applications/Emacs.app/Contents/MacOS/Emacs Does finally make it work. Can anyone explain this weird behavior? Should emacs.app just never be installed in a classic bin directory? -- Alex, homepage: http://www.bennee.com/~alex/ CV: http://www.bennee.com/~alex/cv.php
