The way the users do that is by giving to `load` the file name *with* the `.elc` extension. Of course, they can also load the `.eln` file by specifying that file explicitly as well. If you want to load "the most efficient option available", then just don't specify any extension, and Emacs will load the `.el`, `.elc`, or `.eln` file according to what it finds. > The only form which works seems to be when load is called with a full > pathname after omitting the ".el" or ".elc" suffix provided there is an > elc at that location. It should also work if you just (load "fib"), assuming `fib.el(c)` is found somewhere along your `load-path`. Stefan
