I followed your instructions and I sent you the backtrace. I've downloaded mthesaur.txt again, but the problem remains the same. I searched mthesaur.txt for carriage returns but I didn't find any. Though, after starting emacs -Q I had to make emacs aware of my cygwin environment, otherwise emacs can't find grep, which is needed by synonyms, isn't it? Is it a problem to use synonyms on a Windows machine? I run GNU Emacs 23.2.1 on Windows Vista with cygwin bash enabled. Thanks and regards, Fred -- Frederik freak.fred@gmail.com
