Hello,
A new buffer named *eshell* pops up but shows no content. Minibuffer
shows an error named 'wrong type argument: characterp [31]' when
starting eshell by M-x eshell. It works though when I start Emacs with
the -q option. I already commented out all (e)shell-specific .emacs
stuff, but still no luck
Is there any way to view/start a debug-log when starting any function
in Emacs? The tedious alternative would be to search my .emacs by
trial-and-error...
I use the ubuntu snapshot package of GNU Emacs 23.0.91.1.
cheers,
Fabio

(setq debug-on-error t)
in your init file?

I was able to pin down the villain: I remapped the help key C-h...
ehelp does not like that...
I get a *Backtrace* buffer with this content:
Debugger entered--Lisp error: (wrong-type-argument characterp [31])
char-to-string([31])
byte-code(...) ... ("/usr/share/emacs/23.0.91/lisp/ehelp.elc" .
1297))
require(ehelp)
byte-code(...)
require(term)
byte-code(...)
load("em-term")
eshell-mode()
eshell(nil)
call-interactively(eshell t nil)
execute-extended-command(nil)
call-interactively(execute-extended-command nil nil)
I am considering a default help-key mapping so that ehelp does not
complain.
Thank you very much Pete!

Sounds like a bug that should be reported. Please use "M-x
report-emacs-bug RET" to do that.

help-char should be a character, not a vector.

I am not really familliar with bug reporting. What would be the best
way to tell a developer about it? Anyway, I think I really got down to
the problem and I guess it was my fault after all.
The help key was mapped to underscore C-_ :
(global-set-key [?\C-_] 'help-command)
[?\C-_] evaluates to [31]. That is the cause.
That way, it works in terms of mapping, but ehelp is not able to
handle this vector. I used this vector syntax for *special* keys like
Function keys, e.g. [f6] or the windows-key, e.g. [?\s-f] etc. Is
there is a better way to do that?

This should also work:
(global-set-key (kbd "C-_") 'help-command)
(global-set-key (kbd "A-<") 'other-frame)
(global-set-key (kbd "ESC <M-left>") 'tabbar-backward-group)
