When I edit some file or work in Slime REPL and close > emacs, I get this error: > "Wrong type argument: stringp, \\.\\.\\." while saving history Looks like some code trie to save some kind of history (maybe history variables) and it does it by pretty-printing the value but the value is not fully printed because it's too long so it ends up with a `...' which later causes the above error. > I was trying to locate which variable (or something else) holds the > location of history file (or does it work in completely different > way?) but my emacs-lisp-fu equals to almost zero. Try the set "Options => Enter Debugger on Error" and then reproduce the error, this should put you in a *backtrace* buffer where you'll get a bit more information. If you don't understand this info, post it here. Stefan
