Yes. `server-name' is not autoloaded, so it is not defined until you load server.el; if you do "M-x load-library server [RET]" you'll be able to describe-variable `server-name' before starting the server, but it won't be useful, as server-name has no documentation string. That's also the reason you can not use M-x set-variable with it (variables have to be specially marked as user options to be setable with set-variable). I suggest you locally patch your server.el, changing this line: (defvar server-name "server") to this (defcustom server-name "server" "Name of the server process." :group 'server :type 'string) recompile server.el, and try again. > But I don't think the procedure in the > documentation works.? Well, certainly it should be possible to change the server name before starting the server, yes. Juanma
