Is there some way to determine if I have the nox version? Since you're on debian, try: dpkg-query -s emacs22-nox and dpkg-query -s emacs22-gtk The Status: output line of those commands should contain "installed" for the package that's currently installed (only one of them may be installed at the same time). Alternatively, you can try to install emacs22-gtk, which will replace the emacs22-nox package if that's currently installed: apt-get update apt-get install emacs22-gtk J. -- Joost Diepenmaat | blog: http://joost.zeekat.nl/ | work: http://zeekat.nl/
