I have a patch to apply to an emacs lisp file.  I think this means I need 
to use one of the ediff functions.  The problem is, when I load ediff, I 
get a short beep and emacs becomes unresponsive.  I can't RTFM because even 
ediff-documentation triggers the hang.  This is Win/2K, emacs 21.3.1 or a 
CVS version from http://ourcomments.org/cgi-bin/emacsw32-dl-latest.pl.  
Comand-line option -q to not load .emacs doesn't help.
