I've just tried to use synonyms.el from emacswiki but I've encountered some problems. This is my setup in .emacs: (setq synonyms-file "~/_emacsscripts/mthesaur.txt") (setq synonyms-cache-file "~/_emacsscripts/mthesaur.txt.cache") (require 'synonyms) This is the thesaurus file which emacswiki refers to... The first time I enter M-x synonyms RET, I get `Building synonyms list for completion. This will take a few minutes...' and then I'm able to enter a word. But whatever I enter, I always get `Badly formatted numeric entry - no period' as return message. Any hints? Thanks & regards, Fred -- Frederik freak.fred@gmail.com
