Minibuffer shows an error named 'wrong type argument: characterp [31]' when starting eshell by M-x eshell. It works though when I start Emacs with the -q option. I already commented out all (e)shell-specific .emacs stuff, but still no luck Is there any way to view/start a debug-log when starting any function in Emacs? The tedious alternative would be to search my .emacs by trial-and-error... I use the ubuntu snapshot package of GNU Emacs 23.0.91.1. cheers, Fabio
