When exiting emacs, I still got the error message:

"Current desktop was not loaded from a file.  Overwrite this desktop file? "

However, as I mentioned in my last post, for some mysterious reason,
I'm no longer getting this error.

OK *maybe* I forgot to uncomment the (desktop-read) in my .emacs,
but I thought I had.  Everything is working OK now.  Wait
let me check since I'm now in emacs.  Exited emacs
and the error message doesn't occur.

Sorry for noise, but unless I'm imagining things, I did
have the (desktop-read) and was getting the "not loaded from file"
error message.
