Sorry to be back bugging you again but maybe you can add a little more here. Looking at that list, I see some anomalies. The first 105 lines are of this form: /usr/share/emacs/22.3/lisp/term/x-win.elc All are in /usr/share/emacs/22.3* Then comes a line (106): /usr/local/GNUS/lisp/gnus-load.el An address that is not a normal path to be searched. How did emacs know to look there? That is the address to gnus but not the one in the emacs distribution. This is the cvs version. The information that tells emacs where to look for that lisp directory resides in /usr/local/share/emacs/site-lisp/site-start.el Which according to the list has not yet been loaded. That doesn't show up until line 118 /usr/local/share/emacs/site-lisp/site-start.el So is this listing just not accurate to that degree or is something else going on? I ask because I'm trying to discover when certain init files are loaded.
