They won't load if you put them in .emacs. If this is your system, then I suggest you get that stuff out of site-start.el: why use what the Debian project put there? ;) If it's not your system, then I suggest you tell a sysadmin that site-start.el contains a lot of stuff that ought to be left up to the user. However, he might get a lot of requests for those packages... If you want behavior like Perl or Python (output to STDOUT), then you should figure out a way to divert STDERR from inside Emacs. I tried (setq shell-command-default-error-buffer "*stderr*") but that doesn't affect batch mode. Joel -- Joel J.
