That is curious, I run Emacs on unix and on windows and the load path acts just the same as on both, only the directories specified in the path are searched. You may want to check out what the Elisp manual says about load-path and subdirectories, (if you do not have it installed see: http://www.gnu.org/manual/elisp-manual-21-2.8/html_mono/elisp.html). -_ J_) C_)ingham .
