Try `C-h r' to browse the Emacs manual, then `i load RET' to find out the details about how that works. Here's what you should put in your .emacs file to allow the packages from Debian to be found: (add-to-list 'load-path "/usr/share/emacs22/site-lisp" t) (add-to-list 'load-path "/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp" t) > Sorry for so many questions...I'm learning quickly, but there's a lot to learn!
