Indeed I had the wrong name for the 24h variable. Do you have any light to shed on display-time-load-average? Whether the file "foo" contains this text (setq display-time-load-average t) (display-time) or the same text with "nil" instead of "t", the result of /usr/bin/emacs -Q -l foo is the same: the load average is shown, and also, querying the value of the variable with C-h v gives this: (with 0 either way) display-time-load-average is a variable defined in `time.el'. Its value is 0 Documentation: Load average currently being shown in mode line. (I suppose I could instead set display-time-load-average-threshold to a high value, which does work. Or I could try display-time-string-forms. But somehow I'd like to understand how display-time-load-average is mean to be used...) Silvio
