Overwrite this desktop file? " However, as I mentioned in my last post, for some mysterious reason, I'm no longer getting this error. OK *maybe* I forgot to uncomment the (desktop-read) in my .emacs, but I thought I had. Everything is working OK now. Wait let me check since I'm now in emacs. Exited emacs and the error message doesn't occur. Sorry for noise, but unless I'm imagining things, I did have the (desktop-read) and was getting the "not loaded from file" error message. -regards, Larry
